I recently discovered that "stepped drill bits" FAR more effective at cutting holes in 5 gal buckets and similar plastics - AND you can cut many diff sizes with teh same bit! It's great and cuts like butter with no splitting unless you're incredibly wreckless with it for some reason. :D
Teflon tape is a thread protector although it does help seal a bit, a hardening sealant would probably be better in the long run or loctite non hardening sealant if you want to be able to take it apart later. Great video!
So, I'm rally confused. The brass adaptor in the center bottom is 3/4 pipe to 3/4 hose thread, isn't it? I can't see how that 3/4 pipe thread curts into a 1 inch spade hole. Doesn't it need a 3/4 in spade hole? (If I could figure this out myself I could be looking for directions on youtube! ;-) Thanks again for your work and inspiration!!
@@allanballiett2269 In pipe talk, TYPICALLY when you see something such as "3/4 inch etc etc", it's referring to the INSIDE diameter. The diameter of the opening inside, where the liquid will be flowing. Therefore, it's outside diameter is larger than that. In this case, it's about 1 inch outside diameter. Hence, the hole size in the bucket needs to be 1 inch. There are cases though, where the sizing is referring to outside diameter instead of inside diameter. You can usually see this stuff when you see the abbreviations "O.D." (outside diameter) or "I. D." (inside diameter).
