Compatibility and Fitment
The 13 mm nominal bore allows use with small tanks, jerry cans and containers that accept similar hose sizes. Because suction head and viscosity affect flow, keep the source above the receiving container, and avoid kinks or tight bends.
Compliance and Safety
Always work in well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources. Bond or earth containers where practical to reduce static. Confirm liquid compatibility with brass and the hose material before use. Do not use for potable water unless the hose is confirmed food-grade.
Marine Applications
On board, the jiggler siphon enables clean decanting from jerry cans, emergency fuel transfers and routine small-volume top-ups. It packs light, operates without power and is easy to stow in service kits.
