    Anyone have idea on installing a drain valve on rain barrel?

    So, you made your own rubber washer's? If I understand, you drilled the hole for the OD of the 1" closed nipple then held the reducer on the inside,threaded 1/2 of the closed nipple into the reducer and the other half into the ball valve? that made the "sandwich".

    Anyone have idea on installing a drain valve on rain barrel?

    With the gadget you posted the pic of, yes the way to do it would be drop the main piece in the barrel and by whatever means get the threaded shaft through the hole, then nut in outside. I assume they are npt thread's so any valve of the correct size would thread onto the stub sticking out. No...

    Anyone have idea on installing a drain valve on rain barrel?

    Yes. the barrel has a sealed top with a 4" removable bung.It will be a bugger to get a nut of some sort on the inside I know, but I think it can be done.IE- drop ratchet in barrel and use a 3' x 1/2" black pipe on ratchet handle. Does anyone know if the ABS glue idea would work?

    Fort McMurray burning

    On the new's tonight it said Bonnyville wasn't a "approved" evac centre, so that's why Alberta dissaster services and red cross wouldn't help with funding goods for the evac's that are there. BUT today someone declared it "approved" so, Bonnyville is supposed to get "help" now.

    Red Cross party on parliament hill.....That's nice

    In order for that math to work there would have to be 70,000 adults and almost 27,000 minor's. I thought Ft. mac pop was about 80k not 100? At least after 11 day's or whatever, they are doing something. Not a good job IMO, but something is better than nothing.

IE. How many ton's of...
