Blichmann RipTide™ Pump Tri-Clamp Version

New: The Riptide pump now has vent with hose barb in the pump head for venting. In addition, the stainless steel thrust washer between the impeller and the pump head is no longer used. The stainless steel washer is not longer included and should not be added to the pump. This only applies to the new pump head version.

The one and only, top of the line, no compromise, RipTide™ Brew Pump from Blichmann Engineering. Built from the ground up for homebrewers. Now with Tri-Clamp connectors! No more fussing with threads.

The pump head on this beautiful, super quiet brew pump clamps on using a 3" Tri-Clamp Clamp, disassembling for cleaning in seconds. The integrated linear flow control valve on the output side eliminates the need for an additional ball valve. The attention to details show with the included on-off switch directly on the unit, a splash proof motor, and an air vent embedded in the pump head to make priming the pump a breeze. Most importantly, this pump performs, pushing 26 L/min with 6m of head pressure and a 120C temperature rating.
