False bottom fittings

[Sbond10]

A homebrewer kindly donated me a 9 inch false bottom. But minus the fittings. So what is everyone using to connect theres up.

I’ve got just an elbow fitting as the pickup from the false bottom with a barb on the end, and another barb on the inside of the tap, then a short piece of silicone tubing between the two.

Elbow

That particular one would need a male hose barb

Whether you need a male of female hose barb at the tap end would depend on what your tap fitting looks like.

Male or female barb fitting?????

Would i need a s/s nut for that elbow

 

[Ajhutch]

Should come with one I’d have thought. I bought the false bottom ‘kit’ from MM and it was the mesh, elbow and nut.

Sadly not if i ebay it

Most of the fittings are available here. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121485008323?var=420421109446 I adjusted the height of mine using m20 washers. I also used a coupling to stop the grain bag squashing the pipe.

So is that a normal elow with a hose tail on it

 

[BeerCat]

Yes one of these
