Installation of kit requires fashioning a 7/8” hole in the kettle with a step drill bit and high torque, low speed drill, a set of channel locks and/or crescent type wrench. Tools are not included in kits.
Application Tip:
To more successfully and efficiently complete installation of the ball valve, periodically lubricate the location on the kettle being drilled. Apply a semi-viscous dish soap to the drill place for the 7/8" hole, such as Dawn or other similar type products. By squirting a small portion of soap onto the kettle during drilling, the amount of friction will be greatly reduced, creating conditions for a high quality cut into the stainless steel and a better fit for the ball valve.
