It's kind of hard to tell from the pic, but it really does look like the threaded fitting wasn't welded in! Bring that arm over to my shop and I'll fix it up right.

Will work for beer.

I thought the same thing. Looks like the threaded inserts just pulled straight out.

Kandied, have any closeups of the fittings?
