So I have been looking into upgrading my dip-tube lately. (insert chortle at my expense)
I just thought of something that may work. While on Mcmaster-Carr I found item #4813K124. It is stainless threaded tube. 18 inches for under $20 with 1/2 MPT threads. My question is, will I be able to bend this easily enough to install it in my keggle, then bend it by hand to my desired whirlpool angle and orientation. I am not uber familiar with tubing values and really don't want to go digging through my engineering text books and notes to figure it out.
Here are the specs:
Shape: Pipe
Pipe Type: Threaded
System of Measurement: Inch
Pipe Size: 1/2"
Pipe to Pipe Connection: NPT x NPT
Material: 304/304L Stainless Steel
Schedule: 40
Length: 18"
Inside Diameter: .622"
Outside Diameter: .84"
Wall Thickness: .109"
Pipe Construction: Welded
Fittings: Use low-pressure (Class 150) threaded stainless steel
Flanges: Use low-pressure threaded stainless steel
Specifications Met: American National Standards Institute (ANSI), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
ANSI Specification: ANSI B1.20.1
ASTM Specification: ASTM A312, ASTM A733
ASME Specification: ASME B1.20.1, ASME SA312
If someone can tell me if this will work or not I would appreciate it. It would be a nice way to simplify the dip tube design and cut costs.
Cheers
