Angram CO Tube

[emerson909]

I need to replace the tube that connects the cylinder to the spout on an Angram CO beer engine.

can anybody recommend the right tube? Think it’s 1/4” ID, I’ve tried braided PVC which is too firm and normal PVC and silicone which both kink.

The original was some sort of thick walled tube but not sure what material.

Thanks

It is silicon tube, quite thick walled, bluey-green in colour and the same as used on their CQ pumps but they do use quite a long length in the older CO pump:

Angram will sell you a length (quite expensive mind) because I did buy a length a while ago (I've still plenty kicking around somewhere. Yours for cost of postage if I can find it over weekend, and if you want it?).

I purged it all from my CQ pumps and replaced with PVC because the silicon lets so much oxygen in (and spoils the contents of cylinder in a day or two). You only notice this if sealing the nozzle between sessions to preserve the cylinder contents.

Thanks, yes would gladly take it off your hands if you can find it, let me know how you want to sort postage

Searching... (give me some hours).

@emerson909: Eventually found that tubing, but it's a bit shorter than I remembered (only about 200mm left, and I think you need 250-260mm?). But it is about 6mm ID (perhaps1/4") and 12-13mm OD (perhaps 1/2").

Such as VARIOUS CLEAR TRANSLUCENT SILICONE TUBE FOR USE WITH BEER,MILK AND WATER | eBay? £5.10 per metre delivered.

No worries, you have solved the problem, will place an order with one of my many silicone hose providers I’ve brasso’d the hell out of her today and must say having a beer engine surpasses all home brewing achievements to date
