15mm dia syphon tube - source?

[klaus]

When I get my King Keg (top tap) into operation I want to fit a syphon tube to the tap so I can bottom-fill the glasses. However, I can't find a supplier who offers the 15mm diameter. It seems 8mm is the most common sold - done the usual google, ebay searches plus here but no joy. Anyone?

Does it have to be syphon tubing? There is plenty of 15mm ID copper or plastic pipe at any plumbing shop.

You could always try this, I think it fits over a Drum Tap.

I'll just go and check for you.

Yep, it fits, one Drum tap with some of Vossys silicon tubing over the end. Its a good tight fit as well so won't fall off.

Syphon tube would be preferable because it's flexible - the plumbing plastic pipe is an option but lacks the flexibility.

+1 on the silicon tubing from Vossy, exactly fits what you're after

Thanks for the feedback - a colleague of mine who has recently started brewing has got some of that tubing. If not forthcoming I will order via this board.

You can get some from the larger B&Q'a not exactly cheap though, can't remember the exact cost but something like £2/M. I got some for my solar pump last year.
