BEST ANSWER:I’m not sure. Do you have the original tube to measure? I bought a Ridgid Model 101 line cutter and a Ridgid 456 tri-bender so I could buy used 20” corny keg dip tubes and cut/bend them to fit my 5 gallon (just needed a bend), 10 gallon (cut and bend), and 2.6 gallon torpedos. I believe the 15 gallon is the same height as the 5 gallon, but wider. I would check the dimensions of each, and if they’re the same height, they should use the same tubes. Sorry I wasn’t more direct, but that my 2¢, haha. Cheers, and good luck!

Likely not. the height of the 15ga Keg is 25.4 inches and the regular 5ga is only 23 inches. You may want to try the slimline replacement dip tube (also on MoreBeer) as the slimline is 26" (so you may have to modify...), or I would recommend the floating dip-tube, but you may need to modify the silicon tubing with that to reach the bottom of this fermenter.
BEST ANSWER:This dip tube (the length I bought) will not reach the bottom of a 5 gallon keg. This dip tube uses a washer jammed onto the flared end to make the o-ring mating surface. This dip tube does not have ears on the flared end so it will spin when tightened. If you are using universal poppets then it will probably work fine assuming the length is not too short. If you are using AEB posts and poppets then I would use a standard AEB dip tube with ears, albeit they are more expensive. I use mine for secondary fermentation transfer in a closed system with a universal post and poppet. it does not allow for a high rate of flow for a gravity feed from primary to secondary but works fine for the 1.5 psi transfer from secondary to AEB keg.

Is the 5 gallon dip tube the correct one for the 6 gallon torpedo keg, or is there one specifically for that? I don't see on listed, so i assume the 5 gal one is it.
BEST ANSWER:This diptube is about 2 inches too short for the 6 gallon Torpedo Keg. While we plan to stock replacements for that taller Torpedo Keg in the future, we can suggest using the Floating Dip Tube System (FE115A).

Our original dip tubes just had a really tight fit washer at the top to keep the tube in the liquid post. This failed and is why I purchased these. These tubes seem to have the same washer, but the tube is expanded out above the washer to make it so the washer can not come free.
