Stainless Dip Tube Assemblies PDF Print E-mail

tn_12diptubeModel: SScompDiptube -  $21 +

This series of diptubes is based on 1/2" or 5/8" OD thickwalled 304 Stainless Steel tubing bent with a mandrel bender and comes with a stainless compression fitting with 1/2" Male OD threads. The height of these assemblies is approximately 3.5" from fitting center to bottom of the diptube which is just about right for converted kegs. The depth can be trimmed with a hacksaw if necessary.

 

 

12diptubeIncludes:

  • Stainless Compression Fitting with 1/2" NPT male threads on one end and 1/2" or 5/8" OD (select between these tube sizes below) tube compression on the other. (as shown in the pic to the right)
  • Stainless mandrel bent tubing (length varies with options below) (as shown in the pic to the right)
  • Pair of silicone Orings for removable and hand-tightenable sealing around the tube.

Options:

  • Select between 1/2" OD and 5/8" OD tubing. Obviously the 5/8" OD will flow a little better and it's recommended if you're using all 1/2" ID hoses or if you're pumping out of the vessel.
  • Welded Version (see below) - uses a tube approximately 6" long horizontally.
  • Weldless Version (see below) - uses a shortened tube due to the added depth of the weldless bulkhead.

NOTICE: We are currently out of stock on the fitting required for the 5/8" OD tube. No ETA at this time but we do have plenty of 1/2" OD tubing and the correct fitting. Please do not order the 5/8" if you still see this notice.

What is the assembly sequence for the dip tube, i.e. placement of o-rings and compression fittings? Can't seem to get it right.

Wasn't it assembled when you received it? Starting with a bare tube, it's compression nut, two orings, then the fitting. Screw the compression nut on hand tight and the tubing should be generally pretty snug. You'd be able to pull the tube out if you pulled hard enough, but it's liquid tight at that point.
