Does it work well? I like the idea of being able to boil my tubing for sanitation.
I do. I have the large size autosiphon and use it with 1/2 inch silicone tubing - works great!
EDIT - I think it's 3/8 inch silicone tubing I use, not 1/2
There is no pressure, so determine the proper inside diameter of the tubing for the siphon and use that. Forget the clamp it would probably, eventually, crush the siphon tube .
Oh so you use 3/8 tubing with the 1/2 inch siphon? I was thinking of either trying that or using a hose clamp.
I checked my equipment, and it is 3/8 ID tubing. I spray the autosiphon with StarSan and the tubing is wet from boiling, so the tubing stretches over the autosiphon and slides on easily - no clamp needed - it makes a good airtight seal.
