Cooling coil

[user 47933]

Hi
What do people use to connect their
Cooling coils to their hose pipes?? i have tried jubilee clips but not really that secure or affective, ‍♂

You need a snap on-snap off fitting, same as you have at the tap end. Just make sure there isn't a baffle at the cooling-coil end.
If that;s not working then you need to give as as clue a to what you're fixing it to. It's a bit vague, innit!

I have a Klarstein 35ltr mash kettle and the snap on/off don’t fit, most size jubilee’s are either too small or to big

Something like this then hozelock connects

The ends of your coil look to be much smaller diameter than a standard hose pipe. You may need a short length of narrow tube that can slip over the end of your chiller and be held securely in place (either just by friction if it's the right size, or with a jubilee clip as well). Then an adapter to increase the size up to the diameter of the hosepipe. You can then either attach the hosepipe directly or via a hoselock connection (recommended).

If you want to use hose clamps use two on each connection that fixes it.

I use hozelock style connectors at the tap end. You can buy adapters for your kitchen tap, mine had a thread so I could screw one on. It looks pretty nice actually.

As for the cooler end I still use jubilee clips. I used to have an issue with leaks when the pressure was high, even with 2 clips, but I recently fixed it by hammering a small flange into the end of the cooler tube using a scribing tool. Bit hard to see in the photo, but there's a lump before the first clip :)

Or you can get cheap barbed hosepipe adapters online.
(Other online retailers are available)
cheap adapters from china
But as it's mains water pressure, use jubilee clips like everyone else has told you.

And high temperature silicone hose on the hot side output is advisable to avoid the plastic hose being deformed by the near boiling water.

I've always just used barbed connectors on the tap to connect my hoses to. Never needed jubilee clips when the hose is snug

Depending on the diameter of the chiller ends you might be able to use a John Guest fitting. The chiller that came with my brewzilla came with stainless steel compression fittings which I could attach normal garden hose connectors onto.

Or you could pop it in the shed, save the money and do an overnight chill ... just sayin'

PS. I selling my IM coils if anyone wants?

What’s the outside diameter of the stainless steel tube?

How much and what do you use to connected to them?

 

[Galena]

Mine has a short length of plastic tube connected to the stainless coil with a jubilee clip and then normal hose connector on that.
If it helps I can post a picture a bit later

Oh by the way, make sure any connectors or outside of the kettle and the tube does not slope downhill into the kettle, you don't want tap water running down into the kettle whilst chilling.
