Im using a chugger pump and it does suck the inlet side tubing shut on the thin walled stuff. Its not self priming but it still generates suction on the inlet.

ok sounds good, im not gonna bother to try and stretch it then. Thanks for the info ill be buying some tubing off your site. Thanks!

bummer, well does 1/8" walled silicone suck itself shut when running a pump wide open?

Thanks Jon this gives me some hope. According to brewershardware the OD of those barbs is .625" so i think there's a chance this will work.

i actually don't mind that they are tight, sure it might take more effort to close them, but boiling liquid is passing through it so i'd rather be too tight than lose.

did you try boiling the tubing first to soften it up? THats what the guys at northern brewer recommended to me a few minutes ago.

i just built mine and haven't used it yet, however I've seen where people say that running boiling wort through it for a few minutes is sufficient for sanitizing it. THats what i plan on doing.

Has anyone try to stretch thermoplastic tubing over the 1/2" mpt pro-flow camlocks? I like the rigidity of the thermoplastic tubing, I bought thin walled silicone and my chugger sucked it shut on the inlet side. I'm now debating on whether to go silicone or thermoplastic. So to summarize 1...

Yeah did a function test on my brewstand today and I'm going to need to replace my tubing. I bought the 1/2" el-cheapo silcone off amazon and my chugger is sucking it shut. Don't buy the thin walled silicone, you'll just end up having to buy the thicker stuff.

i was thinking about getting the center inlet style, but opted not to because the cheapest way i could reduce to 1/2 mpt was after ~$20 pre shipping worth of adapters from mcmasters.

duh, thanks bobby! thats what im gonna do

k, i'm no electrician, I'll leave that switched outlet thing for a future DIY. Thanks for the reply

Probably a dumb question but is it normal for chugger/march pumps to not have a power switch? You just plug them in for on, unplug them for off?

I don't mean to start an internet fight, however... Traffic between your site and the users browser is not being encrypted by the transport protocol (you're not using SSL/https ) which means no its not secure enough for me to stick my credit card info in a form and send it in plain text to your...

I see that i just ordered an inline. Hope i dont regret going chugger instead of march... BTW for people purchasing from their site, it looks like they aren't even using https for their purchasing module. I would not stick my credit card number into their site if i were you, instead click...

Ok my bad, I'm not sure i think chuggers go for ~$130 and march pumps seem to run ~$160. I think im going to just go march pumps. Ill probably just get one of these guys: http://morebeer.com/view_product/11622//March_High_Temperature_Brewing_Pump_-_High_Flow although im confused on what...

To enter the pool? I'm just venting my frustration, wasn't actually creating a buy in type pool, more just for sh*ts and giggles

I built my wallace style stand, just need a pump. Been waiting for a chugger for a couple of months, the new shipment was supposed to be available for sale ~23March. I thought it would be appropriate to start a pool for the date they will actually be available for purchase, so that we can...

what is a 'short time'? It took me at least 25 min to chill 10 gallons to pitching temps with a ~80' IC in a keggle...

Bought a jaybird FB from norcal. I haven't used it yet but this thing is solid. I think it would stop a bullet.
