HI Ben
Is there anyway you could get some of the fittings done up that the vent tubes soldier into. These are the ones that are attached to the tank.

Yes....
I've spoken to Rich about borrowing his so I can make a pattern from that, then we can have them cast, I need them too so it will get done. Having spoken to the foundry today I guess the part will be about the same price £7.50 as the drain fitting. I'll keep you informed. Ben

Fantastic. I only need 1 and was comtemplating doing it up in resin. But brass would be much much better.

Silver solder
Quote:
In the refrigeration trade we use a low melting point silver solder,Stay Brite.....You can solder steel to copper..copper to stainless..stainless to stainless..brass to brass to copper ..galvanized to any or all of the above..It takes a special acid flux and has low melting point but is strong like armpit!! Can be soldered with an iron or Bernzamatic low temp torch..Great around the shop..It has a tensile shear strength of 17,000 pounds so is strong enough for 1000PSI pressure test..as a mater of fact I ran my nitrogen tank up on some joints i did for the hell of it to 1400PSI and they held so If you want I;ll give you a bit to do your own gas tanks.. See you at Bobs BBQ if you can wait.. Or here it is ..The Stay Brite solder kit.. http://www.shorinternational.com/Solders.php
