I just started to plumb my new BL now, and ran into my first snag. I was not able to spin my shut off valve onto the bottom port elbow. I installed a short brass threaded nipple onto the elbow and then realized I'm not able to spin my shut off valve because of it being too close to the sheet metal.

Should I connect a brass union to my short threaded nipple pipe, then connect another short brass nipple to the union, then my shut off valve?

You are going to want a union there anyway so that would be the right thing to do for sure

Oaky, I just put a webstone # 40434 on my 250 it is 1" npt on both ends with a union on one end. Makes the job real easy.

Thanks guys. American-pacemaker, I remember seeing the #40434 while ordering up my valves, guess I should've realized the tight area by the ports.
