DIY Maple Syrup Vacuum Filter

Rather than purchase an $800+ unit, I decided to make my own after watching many different DIY builds on UA-cam. Here is a list of the materials that I used to make this for about $111:
Mainstays 12-Qt Stainless Steel Stock Pot (need 2): www.walmart.co...
Adjustable Toggle Latch Clamps (used 4): amzn.to/42dnExO
3/16" Aluminum Rivets (used 16): www.lowes.com/...
Stainless 1/2" Ball Valve with elbow barb: amzn.to/3OopndR
Weather Stripping 1/2" x 1/4": amzn.to/49cmOno
PVC Bulkhead NPT1/2 (3/4 inch ID) (used 1): amzn.to/49797G8
1/2-in x 1/2-in Threaded Male Adapter: www.lowes.com/...
1/2" FIP x 1/2" FIP Ball Valve: www.lowes.com/...
Brass 1/2" Male NPT to 1" Hose ID Barb: amzn.to/3SJp0NP
9" round filter: bascommaple.co...
9" round pre-filter: bascommaple.co...
I hope this helps someone else when making one and sure you can make your own adjustments and tweaks. This is just how I chose to do it and it works. Thanks for watching.
