Assembly

Assemble the kettle stands as shown in the images below. 

 

Place stands in the desired location Use a level to ensure that the stand arms are level.  Adjust the leveling feet as needed.  It is recom-

mended that you allow enough clearance between kettles and also on the sides and rear to allow personnel access for cleaning and 

service of the ancillary equipment.  Although in practical use, the kettles can easily be slid out for any service needs.

Install valves and fittings as shown in the images below.  Note that a 6” spool is added to the mash tun drain to allow the valve to swing 

under the stand so that a spent grain tote can be placed under the manway.  It is not necessary to add the spool to the BK.

SPOOL FOR MASH TUN ONLY

Note: 

that you can easily couple hoses together with a clamp and gas-

ket to make long runs to fermentors etc.  

Additional hoses can be purchased.

 

Attach the lifting arm to the holes in the mash kettle strand. Use the 

included allen wrench to tighten in place.
