SKU 472

Custom built dip tube with compression fitting cut to fit your exact needs for any hot liquor tank, mash / lauter tun, or boil kettle application.

Features:

  • 304 stainless steel
  • 1/2" NPT Male connection
  • 1/2" outer diameter draw tube

In shopping cart, you will be asked to give the following measurements:

1) Distance (horizontal) from closest end of coupling to CENTER of your vessel.

2) Distance (vertical) from top of coupling to BOTTOM of your vessel - at the location of the vessel where you want the dip tube to terminate

Typically in a converted Sanke keg application (15.5 gallon and 50 liter kegs) the measurements will be close to the following:

  • Vertical measurement: 3-5/8"
  • Horizontal measurement:
    • Welded connection (coupling welded to OUTSIDE of keg): 7.5"
    • Weldless connection (bulkhead coupling is INSIDE of keg): 6"

If you feel comfortable cutting the dip tube yourself, you can specify a slightly larger size than you need, then cut it down (using a hack saw) to fit your application.

Dip Tube 12/06/2012
By Blake Williams
The Diptube was easy to use with my spiffy new drilled false bottom, i gathered all my wort with no clog even with over 10oz of leaf hops in the boil. GREAT Product!

My rating 01/21/2026
By gary kabitzke
It fits perfectly on both kegs. As expected I had to shorten the dip ends for my system.

I didn't realize that the ferrules stay loose after it is taken apart for cleaning. I had copper before and the ferrule crimps in place.

I tried the o-rings at first, but the nut reached the end of the fitting before it was tight. I don't know if I can add more o-rings to each and get it to tighten up.

Too bad there isn't a flair fitting version of these dip tubes.

You guys have an awesome website. I'm sure I will be buying more stuff.

Thanks,

Gary

Another Great Product From the NorCal Guys 04/03/2020
By The Big Tex Brew House
The more I shop from NorCal brewing, the more I realize the products they sell are the result of brewers wanting to make things easier that they themselves learned the hard way. With custom lengths, this dip tube is a must addition to your setup, especially if you mash in a kettle/keggle with a false bottom. Be sure to measure twice!
