This plastic nut provides internal clamping for a guillotine honey gate with a 40/49 connection in the 1 ½″ size. It secures the gate to the wall of a compatible honey tank or drum.
Confirm the 40/49 standard, the thread, and the remaining length after passing through the wall and gasket. Two taps nominally 1 ½″ may have different thread profiles.
Align the tap, fit a suitable food-grade gasket, and tighten while holding the body to prevent rotation. Overtightening may deform the nut, gasket, or the container wall.
Fill with water above the connection and observe both sides. If moisture appears, disassemble and check the alignment, gasket, and threads; do not compensate for an incompatible part with more force.
