The most common question we have received is, “What is the pressure rating of the conical!?”. Well we finally have an answer for you…. 15psi!!
•
We have run our new CF10 conical through the gauntlet over the last 6mo to make sure we can safely offer our new conical as a uni-tank capable of pressures up to 15psi. We know the conical project has been delayed and this design was the main reason behind that. We made the conscious decision to delay the release until we had a pressure capable design. Unlike other manufactures releasing new designs every couple quarters we decided to offer one conical that is fully equipped and fully capable of everything you will need as a brewer.

What sets our uni-tank aside from others on the market is the capability to remove the head. This allows for easy cleaning. On the home brew scale a welded on head can cause issues with trying to clean. Since homebrewers are not using the same extremely harsh chemicals the pros use we need to be a little more diligent with cleaning. With a welded head it’s harder to inspect for cleanliness and clean any spots that need additional attention. Our head easily removes and easily locks into place with one (made in the US) band clamp.
•
Safety is our number 1 concern and therefore our conical has been analyzed by 3 different independent US labs in regards to pressure rating. The final design has had FEA run as well as being burst tested. An outside independent engineering firm has OK’d the design and a professional engineer (PE) has OK’d use for up to 15psi.
•
Be sure to always use a pressure release valve (PRV) that is set for 15psi. We will be offering our PRV, carb stone, pressure transfer manifold, etc a little after the release of the CF10. We appreciate your patience and apologize about being a little sneaky about the pressure rating. We hope the wait was worthwhile!!
