<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Hi James, I am with you on this, I would not like it the way it is. I would guess the nipple went out of round from welding it in.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Because of the location, I would either do as Cliff mentions or weld a nipple to the penetrating nipple as you suggest. My worry would be how to get a good weld in that location. If it were me, i would sacrifice ID and slide a nipple inside the existing one. This would give you a shoulder to weld to and the weld would be much easier. Then just bush it back to the original size. It is not right in front of me, so maybe I am wrong about ease of welding. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">On Gamma, i bought a fitting that screwed into the flood valve and hit it with 600 psi every spring before diving. I also did like you and had a hand tight plug, also I removed the handle in case a passenger hit it.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Hank</div><div><br></div>
