Step 4Adding the plumbing
For this build I use a brass 1/2 NPT x 3/8 45 deg flare fitting with a brass1/2 NPT set nut. It fits snug in the hole and needed no additional sealant or welding.
I used gas Teflon tap on the brass, slipped though the hole and threaded the ring to it on the inside. Use a wrench to make sure it's tight. Make sure the holes are pointed down so the sand doesn't run in.
Alternates methods of plumbing the gas though the container for thicker materials:
Bolt on flange- great for thick material. Make sure to use a high temp silicon sealer to make sure there are no leaks. see attached photo
Weldable coupler- The best solution, but you must be able to weld.
Now attach the hose/regulator using the 45 deg flare fitting on the end of your hose.

Just FYI, the kits sold from Form and reform have the holes facing up, and need to be changed with an allen wrench, however, I have not encountered any problem with the sand yet, except for people receiving 2nd degree burns from the flaming sand, lol.
