The summer season is in full swing. Recently, I bought 20 liter containers for drinking water at a traffic light. I bring water from the spring for drinking and cooking. Tired of carrying five-liter baklars. Naturally, twenty-kilogram canisters are quite difficult to raise in order to draw water from them into a kettle or just drink. Therefore, I decided to make an insert in the canister. Or rather, in the lid.
Hello friends with you "Timofey Mikhailov". Glad to see you on the channel, as well as nice to share information with you.
The cut-in method described below is suitable for all containers. Having access to the internal cavity.
In my case, you need to make a hole in the lid. Why exactly here? It will become clear along the way.
Step one
We take any drill with a diameter of 20 mm, no matter what shape it is. If only he drilled a hole.
Step two
We need a cut-in kit. Which you can assemble yourself from the pipes and threads in the plumbing. department.
Or purchase a ready-made version. Believe me, the difference in money between the self-assembled and the ready-made version is small. Therefore, whenever possible, we find a ready-made version.
Step three
Insert the tie-in fitting into the lid. We tighten the nuts with the keys. We make sure that the gaskets are not squeezed out.
You will get a protruding thread from the canister lid. Sitting tightly on the plastic.
Step four
We wind up the thread. You can FUM tape. because there is no pressure in the canister. Then you can neglect the linen winding.
Step five
We screw on any suitable faucet. In my case, the short one applies. So that in the process of transporting water there is less chance of damaging the "nipple".
Step six
We tightly screw the lid with the faucet onto the canister and easily draw water from our device.
In this case, we do not rip off the back and do not "shake" when the water is set into the kettle. And also small children can easily take life-giving moisture from it without spilling it anywhere.
This way of creating a tie-in is suitable for any containers in the country. Whether it is made of plastic or even metal.
