Hi peeps I'm looking for a way of installing a dip tube that can be diassembled with ease pictures and links are greatly appreciated.

For my bottling bucket and cooler HLT, I use an appropriately sized drilled stopper and a length of vinyl tubing stuck through the stopper hole. To disassemble, you just pull it apart. Can't help you if you are talking a kettle. I have SS fittings that I don't intend to take apart very frequently if at all.

I'm talking in a kettle specifically with a false bottom

Here is how I did it

Is that a compression fitting without the ferrules?

I purchased the jaybird level three false bottom for my keggle and a solder fitting from brewhardware.com along with the appropriate diptube. It's getting it first brew day tomorrow, but on the wet test, it sucked almost every drop out of the bottom.

yes compression fitting no ferrule. Now that you mention it I wonder why it works... I've used it about 80 brews now and doesnt seem to give me any trouble. I do fly sparge so never any issue pulling air.
