Boiler Dip Tube Replacement in Greater Vancouver
Directs cold inlet water to the bottom of the tank. Supplied and professionally installed by licensed gas fitters — never sold for DIY.
What the Dip Tube Does
The dip tube carries incoming cold water to the bottom of a storage or indirect tank so hot water is drawn from the top. A broken or disintegrating dip tube causes lukewarm water and debris in the system.
It keeps cold inlet water separate from the hot water at the top of the tank, ensuring you draw fully heated water and the tank stratifies properly.
We supply and fit the dip tube as part of a complete boiler repair or new installation, and inspect it during annual maintenance for homes across Greater Vancouver.
