The bottom connection could or do you think it would work using shark bite to 1 /2 PEX PEx goes into bottle neck with O-ring just trying to figure out a way to be able to use a variety of different bottle with out needing to change the caps every time
I found it at a local supply house. You’ll find it on Amazon, but the price is higher. It doesn’t have to be a 90, you can also use the fitting on the link below. Just put a 90 bend on the tubing. Below are the two links you can check.

Thank you. The o- ring inside the cap is approximately 2.5 mm in thickness and 28.5 mm outside diameter. The o-ring inside the reducer is approximately 4.7625 mm thickness and 28.5 mm outside diameter. Keep in mind that bell reducers can be slightly different so you might need a thicker o-ring inside the reducer and you might also need an additional o-ring on the bottle threads as shown in this video. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-23YrAC5hBrE.html Hope this helps. 👍
Hayden White No problem. And I found that the vent actually works better if it’s straight. You still get flow the way I did it, but works better with it being straight. 👍
I’m not sure what piece you’re referring to. So there’s the cross with a 3” long nipple and 3/4”x 1” reducer on top. You have the 6” long nipple on the bottom that also connects to the base. On one side you have the valve and on the other side of the cross you have a 3/4” x 1/4” bushing with a 1/4” NPT x compression fitting. You’ll find the list of parts in the video’s description. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching.
Yes, you can replace the 3/4" Nipple with this valve. Or you can get this same valve male x female and add a 3" nipple to keep it the same height, since the welded nipple is 6" long and the valve is approximately 3" long.

the vent tube is actually called a vacuum breaker. It prevents a vacuum from forming in the nozzle and the liquid from not flowing. it won't go up and out the tube because the liquid level is not higher than the outlet of the liquid in the bottle. same principle as how your toilet works (there's an S shaped pipe in the bottom with a liquid filled vacuum break there).
DIY Creations Vet I don’t think it will, maybe it would, but I made a triple (2 liquor bottles and 1 coke) for a friend and he’s never told me of any issues with it.
I am trying to replicate this for a wine bottle however I am having difficulty finding a coupling that will accept the wine bottle and not leak. Any thoughts? Thanks
Very nice work! I recently built one following a similar design... although my air vent doesn’t seem to make a difference at all (90 degree elbow compression fitting with a 1/4” copper tube longer than the bottle is tall)... Any chance you’d be willing to help me figure out where I’m going wrong in my design?
@@axcreates_official hey! I used 3/4” pipe - I did some playing with my design, turned out the air vent was too far down on my design. My new design simply moved it up closer to the bottle and it works like a champ. Your video helped a lot with the initial design - thank you!
Metal is porous. Even the cleanest of parts off the shelf could still have residual oils from the manufacturing process. When I had a Cerakote shop one of the steps after sand blast and degreaser was to bake the stripped part to release any trapped oil in the metal.
These dispenser’s are really nice. There are so many different styles and the amount of bottles you can use is endless, I GUESS MY PROBLEM AND QUESTION IS, why don’t nobody ever show the steps and parts on how to stop the liquid from flowing pass the turning handle , making it is one thing, stopping the liquor from spilling at the bottom and through the wood is another thing, NO ONE EVER SHOWS THAT PART and that makes me believe you guys are not actually using them item instead getting the views and selling us a false non-working item. I’ve made over 10 of these and I followed every step 100% smh YOU HABE TO DO BETTER.
Thanks for watching. I showed all the steps and parts. And you'll also find the list of parts in the description of everything needed to build it. @ 0:37 I am welding the cap on the 6" long nipple that prevents fluid from flowing to the bottom like you mentioned. You can see the same step in my other video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-23YrAC5hBrE.html) where the stainless steel cap is welded to the nipple to prevent fluid from flowing to the bottom. Hope this helps. Both dispensers work just fine. Thanks for your feedback.
Really cool. So what of I can't weld. What would be another option to plug the nipple below the spigot? Will the alcohol deteriat the o rings, and how often does one need to clean the pipes?
The parts were approximately $40. The most expensive were the 316L SS fittings. I order many fittings from this site. Hope it helps. Thanks for your visit. www.plumbingsupply.com/stainles.html#90elbow
Does your liquor ever change colors? I dont know why mine does. The only thing I think I'm doing differently is, I use epoxy to plug up that one pipe instead of welding it. That epoxy is alcohol resistant. Oh and my air release pipe is copper. Any idea why my liquor is changing color?
Hi, I don’t think is the copper vent since copper and stainless are the preferred materials for making stills. If you used all stainless materials and Lead Free brass valve then all I can think is the epoxy. I’m looking into a different and safe way of doing it where there’s no welding involved for the next dispenser I make. Hope this helps. Thank you for your feedback and support.
I finally got it...lol... Ive been using alcohol resistant epoxy to plug up the 6" galvanized pipe. Let me know if you want details on how to do it. I will try to add pix of the dispensers I've made so far.
