This not only provides a superior method of connection compared to a clamp, but also ensures a lifetime guarantee that the mains water you're using to chill your wort down will never get to the pressures requires for the PEX to break.\u003cbr\u003ePaired with the duotight 9.5mm range, you'll be able to attach your hose \/ camlock fittings within seconds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5.6m Length\u003cbr\u003eInlet \/ Outlet Size 9.5mm duotight compatible barbs\u003cbr\u003e3 x Rubberised Feet\u003cbr\u003e1 x Hinged Hanger (for BrewZilla Handles)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe would always recommend to recirculate your last 15 minutes of the boil in your Red Reaper to sanitise it before applying cold water to the chiller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing the incredibly pressure and temperature resistant style of hosing used widely in place of copper in the plumbing industry. Partly due to its flexibility and ease of manufacturing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Red Reaper A-PEX CFC is a chilling beast, with an internal copper tubing where you wort will recirculate. and cool down You'll get a large amount of heat transfer from the copper and the cold water passing in the opposite direction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe typical design of a CFC is usually copper tubing housed within another tube. The outer tubing is fed with a cold water source flowing in one direction, while hot wort is pumped through the inner copper tubing in the opposite direction. The main benefit is efficient single-pass chilling from a rolling boil down to pitching temps. CFCs function similarly to a plate chiller but have a larger overall area for the wort to flow through. The benefit is the reduced risk of clogs from hops. The downside is they take up more space than a plate chiller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is PEX?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePEX tubing, short for cross-linked polyethylene, is a flexible plastic pipe used as an alternative to traditional copper or steel pipes for plumbing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo not store in sunlight.
