What size tubing should I be getting for the valve to drain out the wort?

I think you have to provide your own threaded barb fitting. Y ouc ould choose the outlet diameter at that time. Get high temp silicone hose. I can tell you that the o ring seals are crap. I took mine up to the homebrew shop and bought replacements. Once you can get it to stop leaking, it makes a good hot liquor tank.

I would use 3/8". You will need to purchase a barbed tube fitting 3/8" tube x 1/2 npt

I don't use tubing to drain the wort. I just open the valve with my fermenter bucket underneath. I move the bucket to keep the stream of wort splashing constantly. This helps to aerate the wort prior to pitching the yeast. If you ferment in a carboy I guess you could get a threaded hose barb and clamp on a hose that drains into the carboy. Sorry, but I don't know what size.

hey Pitta the valve is 1/2 npt thats national pipe thread.So I use 1/2 ID tube to drain my wort, make sure it will handle hot wort. good luck.

1/2 inside Diameter or 1/2 ID is the term often used. You may have to get a male barb also, with 1/2" thread to screw into the ball valve. Just match the barb and the hose up when you shop.

Mine has a 0.75" I.D. threaded female fitting, so you could purchase a fitting for any size tubing. A bazooka screen is highly recommended if you don't use a grain bag

I don't know what you might have laying around, but the 5/16ths inch tubing I use on my other brew equipment seemed to work fine. Might need to heat shrink it a bit to get a tight seal.

I use 3/8" tubing with it. You just have to have the appropriate barbs. It uses standard g1/4 fittings so pretty much any brand barb will do.

1/2" OD x 3/8 ID. I believe the thinner walled 1/2" tube will work as well.

Here's one that should work from - where other than Amazon! Sunlite Standard Schrader Valve Tubes, 26 x 4.0" / 32mm Valve, BlackI've not tried it myself, but others report it works. You could also go for a smaller diameter tube (i.e. 26x2.7") which would balloon out to fill the volume, but in my opinion you would lose a little durability/longevity doing that since the rubber would always be under a fair amount of stress. Good luck!!!

To connect to the discharge valve? Better to drain it directly into the primary fermenter. We placed the tun on the burner stand on a deck and placed the fermenter one step below it. That way we could drain it through a hand held strainer. If you wanted to use a hose I would guess the valve is a 1/2" female thread.

I just bought plastic tubing from the hardware store. It is standard. It was a year ago and I do not remember the size.

1/4" tubing. It is generally the standard size for "under the sink" RO systems. The flow restricted has the quick connects built into it.

I would go smaller then 1/2 x 5/8 it would look funny , that's the tubing size im going to use , im going a hardline some people go even bigger but its just over kill. This size will work great and look good

Use a 1/2" npt union or better yet, get the valve kit so you can flush out the unit once in a while. Make sure you put a T&P valve on the outlet side for safety. it will be part of the valve kit if you purchase it.

Out of the tank, there is a copper T (3-way) coupler. It is designed for a 1/4" tubing.Converters are available at hardware store to do the conversion from 1/4" to 3/8" tubing.

The filter has female one inch pipe thread. Your tubing looks to be too big. You could use reducers, but that would reduce flow. There are inline filters that are made specifically for irrigation, I think the culligan filter is overkill.

Best I can think of is measure your diameters ,(O.D. and I.D) ... then go to a LARGE hardware store and get a black plastic tube (try the hose/garden section first!). Plumbing/electrical is next. Scotch tape is good as a 'shim' for a tight fit. Good Luck!! Snip

You need 3/8" INSIDE diameter tubing. They sell a three foot length of vinyl tubing to go with this valve, but unless you have a special application, this is way longer than what you need. (I'm using about 5 or 6" on my Outback) Check a hardware store who may sell by the foot-I bought the short piece I needed plus some extra for less than a dollar.

I used a 3/8" OD plastic tubing to connect to our GE filter. The reason I bought it on Amazon is because Home Depot, where it had been on sale a few days before I bought it on Amazon, was out of stock and our faucet started leaking a lot. When I went back to Home Depot, the faucets were all gone. You might make a trip to Home Depot to see if they are on sale there and check the measurements before you buy it.

None, I used a brass valve for my mash tun. This will work, be careful on installing it though, had to drill a slightly larger hole in my lowes mash tun cooler for the valve to fit, not sure if you will need to do that with this valve or not... Have fun with the build and Relax have a home brew

The tubing size is 1/4 inch. Valve is doing what it is suppose to. Works good. Hope this helps/
