'Use only 'Sanitary Stainless' welded joints along with Sanitary 'Tri-Clamp style unions.' Period.
Sabco's Universal Siphon is clearly the best available for all of the above reasons and was designed for use with our Universal Kettle. No welding needed.
NOTE! Do-it yourselfers be advised . . . proper orientation of this siphon requires a 1/2" coupling that does not protrude on the inside of the kettle. Coupling must be flush mounted on the outside or siphon will not be centered.
Easily installed with a simple wrench from the kettle interior, this amazing siphon has a Tri-Clamp design, 1/2" stainless tubing, gasket and 1/2" threaded stainless body. Fixed design siphons cannot be easily detached for cleaning. The Universal Siphon, allows you to dismantle the siphon at the tri-clamp for easy cleaning of the dip tube while allowing you to keep the siphon's body section permanently attached to the kettle for easy cleaning through the coupling.
Be sure to also take a look at Sabco's false bottom with siphon hole, which is designed for use with this siphon.
