Is the valve welded or weldless?

No it's not welded. It's threaded on both sides and held in with nuts. I have had no leak issues.

Non welded. There is a nut with recessed O ring on the inside that the spigot (with another O ring) screws into. We use it to melt snow at our cabin and it works well.

It's weldless...good product by the way...I've brewed 20 gallons of beer with it so far

The valve comes as a separate part and is assembled with rubber washers and a wrench.

the valve is weldless. The pot has a hole through which a threaded valve stem (with o-ring seal on both sides) is inserted and fastened with a nut.

This is a weldless valve. If it helps, I have used this for at least 20 brews and have had no major troubles. Ounce I had to tighten the joint and the drips stop.

Metal from what I can see but I don't have a valve puller. It's a quality tube, it has stayed at or near pressure for 6 months with only 2 top ups

Seems to be made of chrome plated die cast for the base, possibly chrome plated brass for the spout (everything is non magnetic). The valve body appears to be brass, very thin. Very simple but functional.

Appears to be riveted and welded together. No glue. Feels very solidly built.

The multiport valve came ready to be installed. I just use the universal joint to connect to filter. This valve was made in Canada.

Hi, thanks for your inquiry. This is designed as basically a bolt-on kit, no welding should be required.

The shut off valve is plastic but I do not know exactly what type or melting point. It can be mounted away from a heat source

Yes, as is all the hardware for the weldless connection (steel and rubber washers, nuts, silicone gaskets).

No welding, and don't torch or cut ANY drum that might have explosive vapors in it. When in doubt purge it with water.

No it is a two way valve, I am very satisfied with it the only problem is it is a bit difficult to turn. It is well made.

Welded, but mine have been durable. I think they're well worth the low price.

I bought these for my son, so I have no first hand knowledge. Jusr asked him...he says the valve is Presta.

No not welded. A plastic cap on the crossbar is wound over the plastic screw on the support legs. This is not a heavy duty item, though still holding up to a family of five.

They are definitely welded on, you have to screw on the ball valve and temperature gage, if you use silicon tape it works great

The thermometer and valve are not welded but the fittings work well. I did however, wrap the fittings with a common teflon tape that is used in plumbing. The only thing I would say about this kettle that I will eventually do and would do differently if done over again is buy the false bottom. It'll save you the char taste you're looking to avoid.

Yep, it's just the nozzle on the end. Standard hose thread, no shut off valve. Very nicely made.

it is welded to the center shaft. It is a high quality tool that should last a long time. I have purchased two of them over the years and they have lasted a long time.
