At room temperature, carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colourless, odorless, non-flammable gas. At other temperatures and pressures, CO2 can be a liquid or a solid. When filled into cylinders it undergoes a transition from gas to liquid at room temperature at an attainable pressure of approximately 60 BAR (870 PSI), allowing far more CO2 to fit in a given container than otherwise would.

Dip tubes, also known as Siphon Tubes or Extraction Tubes, are used in situations where you need to draw out liquid gas. The dip tube acts like a straw and is used to draw out liquid gas from the bottom of the cylinder. When a CO2 cylinder does not have a dip tube it will simply supply vapour from above the liquid.

Our dip tubes are made of copper and are available up to 53” in length. Also available with holes for mixed gases.

Dip Tube Uses:

• Making Dry Ice
• Food preservation and refrigeration
• Extraction Systems
• Special Effects
• Gas Mixing
• Transfilling

* The cylinder valve must be removed in order to install this product.Must be installed by a qualified cylinder technician due to torque specifications. Compressed gas cylinders and valves are dangerous, please use caution.
