Has anyone put a ball valve on a Grainfather sparge heater?

And also kept the sight glass? I'd like to replace the arduous slow pour of water over the grains with a slow steady flow of water through some sort of sparge arm. Wondering if anyone has a guide to this conversion?

Thanks.

You could always replace the off/on tap that is fitted to the sparge water heater for another type that lets you control water flow, then fit a tube and sparge through that, you could also fit some sort of sparge arm to the new tap and control the flow of sparge water through it

I’m sure at the maltmiller on their brew days they have done this. Probably worth contacting them about the part they use and the process.
