Title: Corny out tube
Post by: loftybush on January 02, 2013, 03:10:40 PM
I bought a few reconditioned cornys a while back, and got around to cleaning them today.

One of them however had a bent liquid out dip tube in it. Manage to pry it out eventually, but going forward its too bent to repair or use again.

Does anyone know anywhere I can buy the tube on its own?

Thanks tube, but its actually the top of the tube that is damaged, so I will have to replace the whole thing.

Would any of the brewing shops be able to get them, do you think?
Or will I have to find one second hand?

BrewUK have lots of replacement parts:

The parts aren't cheap, but I've priced getting replacement parts from suppliers in the states before and they are comparable.

Cheers they're there alright, about £15 including delivery.
Will see if I need any more parts and bits and might make an order.

I wouldnt be sure how good a plastic tube would work inside the keg when pressurised as there would be movement in it. I have a damaged keg lying around somewhere i could send you on the tube out of it. What part of the country are you in?
I have a few other bits n pieces from corny kegs lying about somewhere also.
