Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This video shows how to modify the Grainfather Counter Flow Chiller (CFC) with quick disconnect fittings. Quick disconnects make cleaning and storing the Grainfather CFC much easier.
Here's some Quick Links to the Equipment I used:
Grainfather Counter Flow Chiller: amzn.to/3JIlWf0
Plastic Quick Disconnect for ATV: amzn.to/40k4y7l
Stainless Steel 1/2" Quick Disconnects: amzn.to/3JLEoTS

1/4" FNPT x 1/2"MNPT: amzn.to/3ZelZoz
Silicone Tubing 5/16" ID x 1/2" OD: amzn.to/3Z9ouIR

    Unfortunatly, I bought the 1/4 female BSPP to Male 1/4 NPT and it does'nt fit. I heard that the threading Grainfather used is special and could be a G25... PS : I have the 2021 version of G30. So my counterflow chillet is a bit more recent than the one on this Video. I am kinda stuck now :S

    If you contact Grainfather Support, they might be able to help you with the thread size. I contacted them for the thread size on the earlier version.

    Luke, The white fitting is a quick disconnect for an ATV. Here's the link on Amazon: Plastic Quick Disconnect for ATV: amzn.to/40k4y7l Cheers!

    @Breakaway Brewery thank you so much for the info....I'm looking for something similar but has to be food grade and small I.e. 2--4mm internal diameter...again thank you so much.

    I've just tried fitting a 1/4 BSPP on the newer model and it doesn't work. I'm still trying to figure out what's the thread on the chiller fitting, it's smaller pitch than BSPP or NPT :( Edit : Looks like Grainfather decided to use a very non standard M14x1.0 thread on the new model. Still trying to find an adapter to NPT or BSPT.

    They might have changed the thread. I got my info from Grainfather Support (Shannon or Abby) and they were very helpful. Email them at info@grainfather.com and they will check with their Tech Guys and get back to you. Cheers!

    Thanks. I just wish Grainfather put the QD's on in the first place!

    I've ended up using a 3/8 barb QD and a very small amount of the original tubing. It's not as solid as your setup, but it'll do until GF reply to my email and/or I find a fitting that'll thread in there

    @@AndreQuirion I believe I am in the same boat you were with those 1/4 BSSP adapters not fitting my newer version of the chiller. Ever hear anything back from Grainfather support? How has the 3/8 barb QD held up for you? I may have to go that route.
