Crossover Traps

I had a request to make some high capacity crossover traps to compete with an unobtanium Nicholson trap. Recently I had another few inquiries so rather than make it an "in the know" part I'd share it if anyone is looking for one.
I made them using the same body as the Big Mouth but they are not o-ringed. Machined brass seat with same 5/8" orifice to provide maximum capacity.
Since the body was originally 3/4" NPT I face bush the outlet with a 1/2" bushing and red loctite it. The tailpiece is a special 1/2" NPT tailpiece. So it's kinda like a fat man in little suit to quote Chris Farley. Can also do this in 3/4" if needed.
