Does anyone have a 3/4" die tap I could borrow
I need to tap a 3/4" hole to accept 1/2" NPT. Anyone have a tap that large? (I need to tap one hole...)

 thats going to be a slopy fit if you drilled a 3/4 hole as a 1/2" NPT calls for a 45/64th drill hole so you might have to silicone the threads befor you put the pipe in to prevent leaks. Steve

That would be awesome Steve. Can you just run it over to my place tonight?
Actually you're right I just did a rough look at the piece and it looked like 3/4" but yeah I need whatever 1/2" NPT is. It's really just to attach a feed line to a skimmer that sits in sump so it doesn't have to hold back a whole lot of pressure I just don't want the hose barb sitting in the hole too loosely. Just out of curiousity how much did that piece set you back? I'm sort of reluctant to go out and buy one if they're like $50 or something just for a "I'll use this once and then never ever again" kind of tool. I wonder if I'm better off just drilling the 3/4" hole and then gooping it up with weldon-16 to make it hold in place and reasonably leak free.

To save a bit of back and forth driving you could bring the skimmer to my place on the weekend and we'll drill and tap what ever size of hole up to 3/4"NPT. Save the weldon-16 for later if we crack it
 I'll most likely be working in the garage all weekend anyways.

just put some silicone on the threads when you go to thread the hose end in and it will be secure and leak free. Steve
