The first time I used the Anvil I rigged a 1/2" plastic barb. One end fit in 1/2" tubing from the bucket and then I pushed 5/16" tubing inside the barb. This worked for awhile until the 5/16" tubing fell out of the barb and made a mess and me mad. That brew and the brews after that I just gave up and syphoned out. Sure would be nice to use the spigot and valve especially when closed transferring to kegs. Maybe Anvil will make a replacement barb or valve in a smaller size.

The barb fits into a nut that threads onto the valve and pushes the O-ring up into the valve. The threads for the barb nut are different than on a standard valve. I tried to thread some 1/2" fittings I have on hand onto it but could only get a couple of threads on. I think the threads are different than on a standard valve, they are straight and NPT threads are angled.Damn proprietary parts! This is irritating. Anyone draining from the Anvil to a keg through the liquid out post? What are you using to convert?
