Yeah, swanberry was asking for 65-75c so it will be fine for that.

What size camlock fittings and tubing are being used by everyone? This is for transfer between the brewing tanks as well as the wort chiller. Also, must the tubing be silicone or can I use the tubing used in fish aquariums?

Did you you manage to find some silicone tubing?

I tried finding alternative sources in JHB but they were all > R200 p/M, so I ended up just ordering from beerlab.co.za @ R158 p/M

You can get Silicone tubing (10mm x 16mm) from Cape Town Rubber @ R100 excl. per meter

Does anyone know where to get camlock fittings online?
Finding a local supplier in this one horse town has proven impossible so far.

Interesting, nylon has high heat resistance but is it fine for pumping hot wort around?

Will you post some details/prices, will be interested to compare. I was looking at cam-lock setup for the grainfather, but not sure whether to just buy a kit made up or try do it myself.

Sure, will do.
I sent them a mail asking about sizes and pricing so will let you know what they say.

the compression fitting is costly

Local supplier #1
FITTING 12.7MM COMPRESSION FITTING TO 1/2"BSP 1.00 EA R634.10 15.00% R634.10

I'm looking for a s/s quick connect or triclamp setup for the gf, I have an unused s/s gf camlock kit ;-)

So, I did my GF conversion without a compression fitting. I left the swivel nut on there and bought a spare spring valve. Converts the swivel nut thing (ACME20 thread) to 3/8" BSP.

If you do want a compression fitting FluidCo gave me a price of about R280. (You can look up the parker part number and they will order it in).

Would you mind providing a parts list of what you used? I have no clue what half of these things are called

Would you want to sell the kit? Is it the local one or from overseas?
