[QUOTE="Stangra, post: 16764752, member: 193061"] I started by pressing out the 90° barbed tube from the base and discarding. I made a polished stainless bolt flange, but can save and reuse the original too. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20211103_093624_(1).jpg"]1746679[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20211103_093936_(1).jpg"]1746680[/ATTACH] Then I separated the base into 2 parts so I could run a drill & NPT tap through the front half of the fitting without damaging the back half [ATTACH type="full" alt="20211118_172150_HDR_(1).jpg"]1746681[/ATTACH] Tapped threads and chamferred the mating surfaces at the edge for welding back together [ATTACH type="full" alt="20211118_172157_HDR_(1).jpg"]1746682[/ATTACH] Cut off threads from new 45° fitting to match the depth of my tapped hole + thickness of the bolt flange.

O-ring seal functions as before modification, fitting can be swiveled in bolt flange before tightening (not just anywhere though, clearance for bolt heads is [I]tight[/I]!)
