How to make your Still Spirits T500 work better

The standard PVC tubes for the T500 are far too rigid and they make your life complicated. Switch to Silicone tubes and quick release connectors. You will thank me after you see how it simplifies your life!

Hi @shaunnixon1009, Thank you so much for that, it means a lot to me.

You are more than welcome, I am glad you liked it.

Great video and great idea. I don't suppose you could share a link to those fittings?

Hi @jasongeorge3115, Sure thing, the connectors and tubing that I bought are below. You can get the tubing anywhere (which is possibly cheaper), but so far only found 2 or 3 suppliers on AliExpress who sell the connectors, and nobody outside of AliExpress. The connectors you want are the '30SP & 30PP' if using 6-10mm Silicoln tubing: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003017039024.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.33.49811802hZ77FU The 6x10 Silicoln tubing is here: www.aliexpress.com/item/4000833290804.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.63.49811802hZ77FU

Very nice! I’ve been thinking of splitting the tube at the head for the reasons you described. And I always hate moving this gear around with all the tubes dangling. Elegant solution. Thank you! Would love to see the exact quick release valves you’ve used. Could you link to some online?

This is a great video and I love the quick connections. Do you have a link or a name for that style of a quick connect?
