Centrifuge questions

[Brad S.]

Recently got a CF from PAbiodiesel, the small one 55gph, they sent a gasket with it for the bottom of the CF. The gasket is square with a 1 1/2" hole in the center and the center to center on the bolt holes in 1 3/4".
In the setup I would like to do, want to mount this above one of the openings in a barrel. ( The hole that has the 2" pipe thread opening)
The question is has anyone ever used a floor flange to adapt from the bottom of the CF to the desired pipe thread size?? Or is there another easier way to adapt from the 4 bolt hole flange to pipe thread??
I know PAbiodiesel makes a piece that allows you bolt to the top of a barrel, but I didn't buy that one.
Thanks guys.

I had issues with my centrifuge not being level due to the hose feeding the fuge touching the barrel lid edge. After much thought I ended up making a riser plate out of a small scrap 2x4. Works great
After drilling my 1 3/4" hole in the wood I screwed the board to the barrel using deck screws. Then flipped it over and used same size deck screw and screwed the fuge to the wood piece. I've since ran maybe 20 hrs on it and the screws are still as tight as when I made the contraption.
