Sight Glass Installation

Ok, so I finally installed a sight glass onto my stainless steel megapot. Here I will show what things looked like in the process. Below is the cold water running over the location where I drilled the 7/8" hole. I used a step bit, with cold running water only, no oil. This worked out perfectly, with no problems.

The step bit I used is below. It goes to 7/8". I picked up two of them on ebay for about $14. Worked like a champ.

Below is a picture of the weldless T sightglass fitting I received from http://www.bargainfittings.com/. Inserted into it is a 1/2" MNPT Machined Through Compression Fitting that I received from http://www.brewershardware.com/ along with a 6" temperature probe end to go inside it. The temperature sensor being used is a ds1820, which fits perfectly into the probe end.
