The same as these.

Seen these at markets car shows etc. But never realised there got so cheap
It was a fiver for a 1/2 inch unit or a tenner with about 2 meters of clear hose.
The unit had a brass/cooper look to it.

Anyone use these or with a food grade pipe would they be safe to use

Look good! For the amount of time the beer would be exposed to it shouldn't be a problem. SG ssmplss woulx be a doddle.

Group buy?

Found another site with a similar product. Fair play to the lads who sell petrol siphons, they are very patriotic! (These ones are guaranteed "Not Made In China")

I love my auto syphon, by far the best bit of non-essential kit I bought.

[Deckie27]

I bought one today at another car show. 1/2 inch
Same people i spoke to last week.
It has made in USA stamped in the side of it.
Came with 6 or 7 foot of clear hose a tenner
They sell the units on there own for a fiver

I bought one after seeing it on Craigtube, there are two types, a food and non food type from the original manufacturer.

The food (Drinkable fluids)version I got is very clever and after some wrist action  to get going is great, but I used it twice and too much disruption to trub unlike my autosiphon.
It now transfers petrol to the lawnmower from a gerrycan :

I used it twice and too much disruption to trub unlike my autosiphon.

I never thought of that, it's a pity there isn't a little clip on yolk like the autosiphon that pulls in the water from the sides instead of the bottom!

If you have a 5 gallon container with trub at the bottom:

Just drop the metal bit just under the surface and w**k it like hell. When the flow starts lower the syphon down as you would with a "suck-on-it syphon tube"

This way the trub is un-disturbed (unless your right hand W*****g arm is like Popeye's)

£5 + P&P on ebay.co.uk

That's a nice price.
Any idea if this is food grade?  Or does it matter too much considering the short contact time?

[Ciderhead]

Plasticiser (the stuff that makes the tube flexible) migrates to the surface like an oil, a good rinse will make it not ideal but ok.
I always transfer to secondary, no matter what style i do (I know Mad!)The problem with these is unlike my auto-siphon as I get close to the bottom there is nothing stopping the trub going straight up the tube.
