Mmmmmmmm.....
1.5" OUTSIDE Diameter perforated tube
* Material 409 Stainless
* Thickness 22 gauge or .030"
* I.D. Is aprox 1.44"
* Hole size 1/8 Dia spacing 3/16" center to center
Need some intellects to chime in on this. Seems rather large in diameter. What about the thickness? Let me go find a meter.................

409 grade SS, not sure that would work well in a brewing environment - mostly for auto exhaust use.

This is what i notices, 409 is not good for food grade stuff, from what I understand.

Yup, 409SS can develop a thin layer of surface rust pretty quickly. Rust in beer = more flavor!
It's really just a problem of dead space because it won't really pull a siphon with the holes on top. The other problem is that the open space is pretty low on perforated stainless as compared to the braid because bits of grain do plug a lot of the holes in false bottoms.
