Need Polycarbonate Tube for Sightless Fast!

[Jiffster]

Mine broke and I am going to brew this weekend. I need a quick replacement.

Can I buy this locally?

Mine was purchased from Brewhardware.

I must have leaned it on my sink when washing the kettle or something.

Call around to a heavy equipment dealer in your area...we have them on our fuel tanks...some are poly-carbonate. They usually have them on their shelves. Just be aware that you will pay more just due to the fact that it has John Deere, Komotsu or Cats name on the box. And they wont be marked of in increments.

Id just plug it off and brew away this week and order an exact replacement from your original vendor if it was me.

Plug the bottom hole and make a measuring dowel until you can get a replacement.

How would I plug it?

The link you posted showed a 90 degree elbow that the sight glass in bedded into somehow...remove that and install a cupler and pipe plug.

I understand the pipe plug. Can't visualize the coupler.

. If you can get the sight glass and beding material out of that elbow you wont need the coupler just screw the pipe plug in the elbow...however if you cant, then remove the 90 and install the coupler onto the male threads of your bulk head fitting where the 90 was and then install the pipe plug into that. If the 90 is a "street L" then you wont need the coupler either as you already have female thread looking out from your bulkhead, but I doubt that.

Ok thanks for all the help. Appreciate it.

Update: Contacted Bobby at Brewhardware.com via email and he immediately responded with directikns on how to order a replacement tube and instructions to respond to his email as soon as I placed the order.

Within 10 minutes my order was placed, confirmed and ready for shipment so I get it on time.

Fantastic service from Brew Hardware!
