I didn't know WLL had a plumb in kit. It was promised to be available within one year of the beginning sale of B1 , but never was available, as there was a lot of interest posted on this forum. Instead, WLL used the time to develop newer models of Brewtus. I understand the factory uses a valve to be switched between reservoir and mains supply, and don't see why a part like that couldn't be used with the Brewtus models. Cost per unit , I guess. If you are tapping into the boiler tee inside the machine, (the hole where your vibe pump tube screws into) that thread should be 1/4 British pipe. One simple adapter from 1/4 british pipe to either 1/4 or 3/8 NPT (your choice, but a 3/8 feed in would be better.) The way I understand it, you can get 1/8 british to work woth 1/8 NPT with teflon tape, but not the 1/4 size. It will leak. You should check with WLL because I have no idea what they supplied you with, but it shouldn't need any other adapters for you to get. - Dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Keeler" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2009 1:18 PM Subject: Plumbing fittings
