Brewers that use immersion chillers and also own a pump should know that recirculating the wort back into the kettle to whirlpool the wort makes for much faster cooling and will also make a concentrated pile of trub and hop particles in the center of the kettle bottom. This whirlpool port assembly installs high up on your kettle wall above the typical wort level and then extends down before curving to the side to force the recirculated liquid towards the sidewall. You can swivel the tube in either direction in the compression fitting.
What is included:
- 1/2" MNPT x 1/2" Tube Compression 90 degree elbow (a nylon ferrule is installed)
- 1/2" OD Stainless Steel Tubing with a 90 degree bend in either a 10" or 14" total drop length.
The standard setup positions the output at 10" below the center of the installed female bulkhead. If you want an extended drop of 14 inches (which you can cut shorter if you need to), select it in the dropdown.
The picture shows both the 10" and 14" drop versions in the same picture. You are buying only ONE of them. You do not get both for this price.
The drop length specifications are measured from the top of the fitting in your pot down to the bottom of the horizontal part of the tube. The tubing portion of the 10" drop measures about 8" and the 14" measures about 12". If you order the 14" drop tube only option, you are getting a 12" tube that will result in a 14" overall drop when assembled into the compression and elbow fitting. If you want a bent tube with a longer length, please contact us.
Install Notes: You need to install or plan to install a soldered or welded in fitting up high in your kettle that will give you 1/2" NPT female threads on the inside. We recommend installing our Male/Female Pull Through Bulkhead for this purpose and then putting a quick disconnect on the outside. If you have no plans to weld or solder a bulkhead in for this whirlpool, note that we do sell the high port wirlpool in a weldless version.
