I would suggest maybe try to match your parts up to that photo in the product page you linked to above...
Your cylinder ends up being clamped between the two green washers at the top, I think

Perhaps if you lay out the bits you‘ve got on a bit of paper with a number next to each one, and take a photo, then we might be able to help you in terms of ‘screw bit 1 onto bit 2’ etc?

Looking at the top of the picture in the link. take the brass nut off and one of the washers, then feed the tap into the hole of whatever your vessel is and then fit the washer and nut to the inside of whatever you're fitting it into and tighten accordingly. The Bazooka fits onto the top of the pic in the link.

sorted!!!

tyvm for the help.

cant wait to get going now on sunday to do my first brew in a very long time!

Good luck with it - what are you making?

 

[gazza100]

bit of a use up brew to be honest

90% pale malt
10% crystal/black/wheat

got 100g hops but the label has fallen off the bag.

wing it Sunday lol !!!

Incidentally it’s good to hear (from your description) that unlike the setup in the THB ball valve kit photo, you dont have a mixture of brass and stainless fittings... doing that in the presence of acidic wort is asking for trouble, if I remember my metallurgy lectures right
