I am currently building my first UDS. I live in the UK and am struggling to find steel nipples at any of my local hardware stores.
Would using brass nipples be a problem?
Thanks
Hi Tim. I picked up all my valves and nipples from 'tool station' (there is one close by but delivery is free over £10).
I purchased three 3/4 brass nipples, 3 3/4 caps and 3 3/4 back nuts which will all fit neatly into my drum. The ball valve (22mm) was also purchased here for around £5 (full bore and stainless steel). That shop had pretty much everything I needed.
Struggling (at the moment) to find large washers (possibly M27?) to fit around the nipples. I think they use conduit washers in the US, but haven't seen similar here yet.
Once I start constructing it (carried out the burn this weekend) I'll post up pics.
