Either buy the kit or just the tube and run it into a compression fitting fitted with a couple of silicon o-rings (in place of compression ring) which is screwed into your Tee

Hi Ciderhead

Been in touch with these guys who confirmed they will post to Ireland but need exact order before quoting in prove.
In response I asked them would they bundle orders to reduce shipping costs or give a discount for multiple orders. Airing response on this and will post one I have info.  Delivery would be visas ups. May in paying I am going to ordrr two for myself.  Hopefully we might get a reduction that we could do a small group buy.

Thanks Shanna, I have a plan B now as necessity is the mother of invention and I preferred a sightglass on the tap rather than another hole in my precious.

Hi Rats at home

Snap me two.  I also got him to give a discount on a shipment of over 5% over $400 and 10% on over $600. Not sure if there would be enough interest but who knows.  I will create a separate that for a group buy to see.

Ok so I installed my sightglass in line, as I didn't want to drill another hole or have more areas to clean





But wait a minute I have a drain that is below the level of my tap and with the top of my sightglass open I will lose the siphoning effect :o



By using a simple tap with a bit of keg lube, I open when I am filling or boiling and close when I am emptying leaves just 500ml in the bottom of my keggle, simples!
