Here's a simple use of our Silicon tubing:
The ball valve "wank**g" yoke is from a ball valvd "W***y" thing.
You get them in motor factors for syphoning fuel.
A length of SS pipe gives directional control!
The wrap of SS wire just stops the tube kinking!
Edit: Added the missing pix!
I have a smaller one like that for wine THIS ONE (http://www.homebrewwest.ie/syphon-telescopic-de-luxe-model-803-p.asp)
The wire coil really makes a difference :)
