Built in Germany by Speidel, the world-class traditions of German engineering and craftsmanship are reflected in these tanks. And, after examining tanks built by every major manufacturer worldwide, we can safely say that when it comes to features, quality and price, these tanks represent the very best value available in stainless steel wine storage.

The tank features a 1.5" tri-clamp bottom port and NW10 upper port with analog thermometer. The upper side port is NW10 male threaded and will accept either a Speidel Sample Valve or Thermowell. This NW10 fitting comes with a stainless steel cap. Either the Sample Valve or the Thermometer can be added at the time of ordering or ordered separately at any point in the future.

Please note: The bottom T.C. port does not come capped. You will also need an end cap, clamp, and gasket if you do not plan to install a valve on the bottom port.

Speidel Quality Features:

• Rubber Lid Gaskets - Rubber gaskets are much thicker than the traditional clear vinyl gaskets, which along with their extruded manufacturing process provide a much better seal with the tanks wall. They're seamless and more oxygen resistant than the clear gaskets. That means better protection for your wines!

• Weld Quality - Speidel's robotic-arm laser welders create flawless stainless to stainless junctions that look and feel more like a taped fabric seam than a traditional weld. Ultra high-quality welds leave no chance for residual product to harbor spoilage organisms.

• Interior Finish - Speidel tanks feature an ultra-smooth 2R rated interior surface which effectively resists the build-up of tartarate residues. Clean your tanks with cold water after cold stabilization! Say goodbye to harsh cleaning chemicals and expensive CIP systems!

• Warranty - Speidel-Behaelter, GmbH backs up each and every tank with an industry-leading 25 year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. And, as a 5th generation manufacturer, you can be confident they'll be around to honor that warranty should the need arise.

Tank Dimensions - 820mm D x 1328mm H (32.2" D x 52.2" H)

Note: Over tightening the airlock / orange bulk head can cause it to crack. Only thread the airlock down until it feels snug. Do not over tighten.
