Lungy, so did you make cut-outs, heat and bend them out to make those leg? If so, what means did you heat the plastic with? Good stuff.

I drilled a small pencil lead sized hole in the airtube and it has sho nuff fixed my riggin, working awesome now. I will try and go back to just one airtube with small hole and see if it works the same.

Thanks again to all,

TX

Nothing so fancy as this was just a test siphon I just got the pliers and bent the cut outs.The production siphons I will heat up with a soft flame burner though I imagine a heat gun would work fine.

Thought you would like that :wink:

The little hole can go anywhere including the cap so should be pretty simple to keep clear.
The downside is it makes some noise so I placed it 40-50mm up the airpipe high enough to release the airlock without being submerged too quickly low enough to be quiet most of the time but with good chance of being blocked.
