316 Stainless Steel Telescopic Pump Dip Tube – 1" BSP, 1035mm
Description
The Telescopic Pump Dip Tube provides a rigid suction pickup for pumps drawing from 200L / 44 gallon drums, tanks and other compatible containers. Unlike flexible suction hose, the rigid tube can be positioned towards the bottom of the drum without curling inside the container.
Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, the tube features a 1" BSP connection and telescopic design extending to a maximum length of 1035mm.
316 Stainless Steel Telescopic Pump Dip Tube – 1" BSP
This extendable dip tube is designed for use on the suction side of compatible fluid-transfer pumps. The telescopic construction allows the pickup length to be adjusted to suit different drum and container depths.
It is particularly useful with 200L / 44 gallon drums, where flexible suction hose can curl or move away from the bottom of the drum.

Adjustable for Different Drum Depths
The telescopic design allows the tube length to be adjusted so the suction pickup can reach towards the bottom of the drum or container.
This provides a more controlled pickup arrangement than loose flexible suction hose, which can curl or move within the drum during operation.
316 Stainless Steel Construction
The dip tube is manufactured from 316 stainless steel and is intended for use with a broad range of compatible fluid-transfer applications.
Fluids listed for this product include:
- Diesel
- Petrol / unleaded fuel
- Oils
- Vegetable oils
- Water
- Methanol
- Kerosene

For solvents, chemicals or other fluids not specifically listed, confirm compatibility with all wetted components of the dip tube assembly before use.
Improved Suction Arrangement
A correctly installed rigid dip tube helps provide a stable and well-sealed suction path between the drum and pump.
Maintaining airtight suction connections is important for pump priming and performance. Air leaks, excessive suction lift, restrictions and unsuitable fluid viscosity can all affect pump operation.
