Description

Maximizer tubes are used to help extract the maximum amount of wort out of the bottom of your kettle by allowing you to draw liquid from below the height of the valve port. This size is normally used in boil kettles where it will stay out of the way of immersion chillers, and hot liquor tanks where there is no false bottom that could interfere.

This fitting is intended for use with kettles that have 1/2" FPT threads on the inside of the kettle.

Please note that these are too long to work in set ups with our domed false bottoms.

2.5" Long x 1.25" Bend

To use with weldless ball valve in hot liquor tank and drain as much sparge water as possible.
Jeff W on Mar 7, 2023
Price, mainly. Will be used in a flat-bottomed kettle as HLT, and will do just fine for it.

Are there any flow restrictions with this when running a pump?
Benny R Stetson on Feb 15, 2019
BEST ANSWER: There are not any restrictions on my setup. I have it installed on a converted keg with a added valve on the side. I use a Chugger Pump to circulate wort thru kettle when cooling with no flow problems.

Tail too long
The tail is a little too long to thread into my kettle.... had to cut off an 1/8 inch to be able to use it.

almost to the max
This part fit perfectly in my HLT. It is well made. I would have given it 5 stars if the end of the pickup pipe was angled to match the bottom of the kettle. Then it would truly be a maximizer

Essential Kettle Upgrade
Great product - excellent weld quality and 1/2" diameter throughout for high flow rate.

It would be nice to offer a shorter version for the Brewmaster kettles (at least the 18.5 gal). I cut ~3/8" off the tubing, but not everyone would have the tools to work with stainless.

Maximizer for Boil and Hot liquor Kettle
I bought this to use in a keggle for making a boil kettle. The unit itself would work in flat bottomed pot, but it leaves about 2 gallons of wort in the bottom of a keggle. It is going to be used in the boil kettle and It has a very good throughput. I would recommend this to anyone with a flat bottomed kettle.
