Just wondering what attachment do people use to use a bottling wand direct from the polsinelli fermenters bought in the group buy or did anyone change the taps on them?

I batch prime so always transfer to a bottling bucket.
Silicone hose over the tap into the bottling bucket does the trick
I switched out the tap & replaced it with a 1/2" NPT tap. All of my silicon hosing is 1/2" and I have camlock fittings connected to the tap. Its a bit awkward getting it in to position in the brewfridge and its also something that you have to be aware of when moving it (as it sticks out 5" or so). However its really quick to drain and works well for me.

I use the original tap and slip a 1/2" silicon over the end, cut to reach to the bottom of a bottling bucket/keg. Slips on and off easily and no nooks and crannies that need additional cleaning

I switched all brewing vessels to camlocks & 1/2" NPT taps from gear bought from Chinese eBay suppliers. Unfortunately the two I used stop supplying here as customs kept nabbing stuff & demanding duty. :( The camlocks are great as they are easy to strip down & clean & also make switching the hoses for a pump. If you like that mod you should see my chugger pump :)
