Stuffer Tube question

[wnctracker]

Does anybody know if stuffer tubes are universal for all 5lb vertical stuffers? I have northern tool Kitchener and the plastic tubes have cracked. I’d like to replace them with stainless ones. Also, any drawbacks to stainless tubes? Thanks.

There’s not a universal tube that I’m aware of, and other than cost I see no drawbacks with Ss

I’m hoping someone on here uses a Kitchener with a stainless tube...

The tubes are flared (have a flange) on the upstream end. The nut on stuffer can handle a slight change in the outside diameter of the flared end. Measure your tubes and check that dimension against the after market tubes you are buying.

The first source I checked had these for example, it says "Diameter at connecting point is 1-1/2". I'm sure other stores will show the dimension too.

Yep. I wenttto sausage maker and they were the same as what I needed. Was hoping to save money on eBay with a 3 pack but I really only do hog casing anyways. Thanks!!

I bought a few after market SS tubes. Most tubes that are 5 pound stuffers will work
