New CPVC Manifold for the Pig Pail Mash Tun

I had this brass faucet laying around that I had never used, so I made use of it for the flow control. I had to buy a brass extender to keep the handle from hitting the cooler when I turned it on or off. For the bulkhead, I just reused the cooler parts.



Inside, the manifold is snapped together with CPVC (don't use PVC!). This stuff is easy to cut with garden pruning shears.
Slots are cut into the bottoms of the long pipes with a jigsaw 1/2" apart and positioned downwards. The wort and sparge water gravity drains into the brew pot.
