False Bottom Sealing

ArtVandalay said:

I recently put together a 10 gallon rubbermaid cooler with false bottom for my mash tun. The instructions indicated that the internal barb connected to the bulkhead should be connected to the barb on the false bottom with tubing. Is it necessary to use clamps to make sure this tubing connection is sealed? Is the goal to have sealed connections throughout the system to form a siphon or is the sealing only necessary in regards to leaking outside the cooler?
