i took some advise from YHB and used a 1 1/2 brass cap and cut it. but now the problem is finding a ferrule that i can attach to a keg with clamps and has threads on the other end so i can just twist on the liebig and run! any input, links, advice, anything at all would be nice. thanks in advance.. im lookin for something along the lines of this..

-------------------
To the best of my knowledge I have only advised a screwed connector for use with a T500 type boiler, if you want to connect to a keg or a sanitary fitting then a different approach is needed and it may be easier to cut off the screwed connector and add a simple ferule.

However, if you are trying to end up with an adapter that will allow you to use either boiler, you could try using a 1.1/2” brass threaded plug and connect it to a pipe in the same manner as the cap that you have already done. That will give you a simple threaded joint add a 2" x 1.1/2" reducer and ferule at the other end and Bob's your uncle.
