Curtis Air Tank
Hi guys,
I am trying to re-hab an old Curtis air tank for home shop use @ 125 psi. It is OLD, as in rolled plate, riveted, with the seam filled with a silver color metal. The drain bung is almost rusted out, so I drilled and tapped it for 1/2'' pipe, still only 1/8'' thread. Will weld in a bushing for 3/8" pipe to fit a drain cock. Question is: does anyone here have an idea what the silver filler is? It seems too hard for solder. Thanks, wws. |
