Hi guys,

Just want some advice on how to secure my ball valve onto tabk connector for my mash tun / boiler as just a piece of copper pipe is not really secure and just spins around.

You will need to file the little lip out on the inside so the copper pipe will push all the way through. When i did mine i used a dremmel. When thats done it will nip up nice and tight with olives and compression nuts.

be careful not to over do the filing

It was already filed just doesnt seem sturdy enough.

Used some PTFE tape to tighting things up works much better now.
