[PSUBS-MAILIST] Tap instead of weld

[Emile van Essen via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Jon

Not for me but a reinforcement is a GL rule.

General rul for thread lenght is 1x D. So you hull should be 12 mm or 1/4
"thick

On a thicker hull, installing a small penetrator (1/4 male NPT), is there
any structural reason why one could not just drill a tap such a fitting
instead of welding it?
