Any idea where to find a good deal ?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Claw Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I've heard of wineries using gasoline nozzles like you would find at any gas station. Explosion proof I assume, auto-shut off. Not very expensive. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200611439_200611439?cm_mmc=Google-pla&utm_source=Google_PLA&utm_medium=Fuel%20Transfer%20%2B%20Lubrication%20%3E%20Fuel%20Nozzles&utm_campaign=Roughneck&utm_content=37658&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=37658&gclid=CImppO3Y7McCFQ-PaQodnGEK0Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd want one made of stainless steel and other parts that have better compatibility. I'm sure there's one out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penrock Distillery Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thanks chapsI have found a couple of auto shut off fillers nozzles that have stainless bodies but aluminum end nozzles. Didn't know if anyone was using something like this or if these too were not suitable due to the aluminum components & possibly the internal parts.I have also found the all stainless "whiskey nozzle" but they run from $350 - 600. I guess I'm just being cheap by trying to find a reasonably priced alternative to these but an coming up blank :-(Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMateo Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 How about a stainless steel beer filling gun ?? that will be SS and you might just need an adaptor to match the pipe diameter. That is what I was looking at for my barrels. I am having to consider lots of SS alternative beer equipment because I can get it easily. Cheers Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedgeBird Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 This one seems has an aluminum body, but all stainless on the wet parts: http://megadepot.com/product/dixon-valve-defn075-def-automatic-shutoff-nozzle?format=visible&source=ads&gclid=COje19ji9scCFYSPHwodU2kCpw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silatjunkie Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I went to JME and spoke to them at length to find this nozzle. It's rated at E100 which is 85% ethanol capable: http://www.jmesales.com/product/husky-xs-e85-pressure-activated-automatic-nozzle-ul-listed,12952,5238.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnBatch Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 check you link, it does not seem to work as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelAtTCW Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I think this is what he was linking to. It's nickel-plated aluminum, which should work fine. Not as good as stainless steel, but much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
