Ok I have broke about 4 of those little white pinch clamps so far. I use the three piece siphon and without the clamps it is a pain.. any better alternative? Hopefully something I can just pick up at the hardware store?

Why do you need the clamps to use the auto siphon?

I have 3-4 of those but they won't work for what I need em for on this particular application.

can you describe exactly what you're trying to do? Are you bottling? Racking to a secondary/keg? Transfering from a hot liquor tank to mash tun?

How's about a couple of these bad boys. The swivel tips on the pads should cut off the flow w/o hurting the tubing.

just racking to a secondary or to a bottling bucket. I will try to find the thread on the $3.00 siphon to show you what I am talking about. The plastic clamps are cheap as can be but the brew shop is an hour one way to get em.
