Aye, right enough! Just seen http://www.pdplumbingsupplies.com/pipes-and-fittings/350-flanged-tank-connector-with-backnut/ for the hot water cylinders.
Method:
Step drill bit, silicone washer, fit the part, get pissed off when the concave base means I don't get a good seal, kick keg, start again with old fermentor.

Apply liberal amount of food grade sealant to avoid kicking

I might read up on BIAB 'til I get my head around it all.

Tom,

Its a bit late but here goes:

The standard keg is 2" by 14 tpi There is NO equivalent pipe fitting!

Use a tri-clover

Or

Take the spear down to you local welder, Strip it down and in particular remove the 2" 'o-ring'.

You friendly local welder now has a 2 x 14 male fitting with watever is left when its stripped down. A spear has at least two pathways: gas and beer. Eventually he should end up with the 2 x 14 outer fitting. He can then weld any bsp fitting into this that you need.

May actually be cheaper to go tri-clover though - unless you married the welders mother!
Remember: The Nationals are just round the corner - time to get brewing

Tom

Tri clover it is then! At least I can stop my headscratching now. Cheers.
Sorry Ciderhead, I've no idea what a W G B space is!
