dip tube

[Chia]

so i have been trying to find a way to pull the wort off the bottom of my keg. i have made several dip tubes out of copper and attached them to the weldless ball valve, but each time it fails to create suction. the thing is air tight, and works find when the ball valve is below the water line, but fails to continue to pick up fluid from the bottom. any ideas of what i am doing wrong?

you need to attach some tubing to the outside of the ball valve that brings the output level to below the kettle for a siphon to pull water uphill(up the dip tube).
