Burco/Cygnet boiler sparging….

[Rento]

Hi,

I read somewhere that somebody has managed to push a piece of silicon hose over the original tap of their burco or cygnet boiler. Now I’ve receive my G40 I, going to use my cygnet for small test batches and as a sparge water heater and rather than use a jug I’m thinking use a hose to sparge. This issue is that the tap spout is conical so no obvious size to use! Could you or anyone else tell me the most appropriate ID for the hose? 8 presume it should be silicone?

Thanks

I’m not sure about the original question but may be easier swapping out the tap. There’s a few threads about it, one here with an instructional video embedded if any use?
