I am having real trouble finding a SS sweep 90 elbow spout with 1/2" MPT threads and just a spout opening on the other end. I have a 1/2" SS ball valve for my bottler and I want the spout. Anyone know where to find one like the ones Leader has available for their canners? I don't want to pay $25 for valve and spout when I already have the valve.
Bascom's has one I suspect other maple suppliers might.

You might want to consider a 1/2 x close SS nipple then a 1/2 SS 90. After that you can use 1/2 x barb adapters and you may like 2 or 3 sizes. As you draw off, the smaller the container you are filling the smaller the final outlet may want to be.
However, in my set up I use a foot operated bottling valve ( http://www.mapleguys.com/product/HFBS.html ) with just 1 size outlet. Before that valve I have a ball valve that regulates the flow rate, that method also works well and is faster to change flow than switching outlets.
