## Overview

The Camco Water Heater Dip Tube (50.5 inches, ¾-inch NPT) is a durable, CSA certified polymer replacement part designed to enhance your water heater’s efficiency by directing cold water to the tank bottom. Featuring an anti-siphon hole to prevent damage and a customizable length for a perfect fit, it ensures longer-lasting hot water and easy installation.

## Description

Camco’s Threaded Water Heater Dip Tube allows you to replace your broken or failed water heater dip tube. It helps preserve your water heater’s hot water by directing cold water towards the bottom of the tank. As a result, the tank’s hot water remains at the top for maximum heating efficiency. The dip tube’s anti-siphon hole expels air to break damaging siphon action. This product is made out of water-safe, CSA certified polymer pipe. It measures 50 ½-inches (L), but can be cut to the desired length. It features a 5-inch-long nipple with a ¾-inch NPT.

Review: Great fix for my problem - Doesn't have a built-in check valve and was slightly shorter out if the top for my Whirlpool hot water heater, but it solved my problem for way less than an OEM part
Review: Works for 40 gal AO smith - Exactly as advertised, fit my AO smith 40 gallon tank. Only downside is that it doesn’t have a heat trap, but you can put a coupler and then a heat trap nipple after this dip tube. This was my only option because the local big box store didn’t have dip tubes nor 5inch heat traps. So if you need a 5inch nipple with dip tube then this is the one for you. Ordered on a Friday received Sunday morning!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Should I insert the dip tube until the tip touch the bottom of the tank and go up may be three inches? Thanks in advanced.**
A: First and foremost I AM NOT A PLUMBER ...that being said, I copied the dip tube I removed from the tank. My original dip tube was sealed at the bottom and had several holes drillled in the side so I cut slots and used a heat gun to seal the bottom and then drilled similar holes in tube. I can only imagine it was designed this way as to NOT stir sediment on the bottom of the tank...that's all I got

**Q: Does the nipple have threads on both sides? One to attach to water one to attach to water heater! Are they one inck threads?**
A: Yes, the nipple had threads on both ends. It threads into the tank, and there’s are threads on the top to connect to the supply/outlet. I do not remember the exact diameter or thread pattern, but it matched the tank and existing plumbing

**Q: Does this have 3/4" npt on it? if so, then the od is 1.050" correct?**
A: It is 3/4 npt and the nipple is 1.050 od

**Q: I need this part, ordered last wednesday, prime, amazon delivery for friday. still no rod, still no firm delivery day. what is going on?**
A: You could probably give them a call and they would send another one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great fix for my problem
*by J***S on August 7, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect replacement part for my Bradford White 40 gallon water heater
*by A***O on July 5, 2017*

Perfect replacement part for my Bradford White 40 gallon water heater model No. M440T6FBN5: Bradford White Dip Tube 229-39625-25. This item is 2" longer at the top half ( 3.5" top x 1.5" bottom ) than the stock 1.5" that protrude from the top of the heater, but the lower threaded portion that screws down into the top of the tank is the same 1.5" Just make sure you have enough distance from your cold water supply and corrugated copper pipe to the threaded fitting as I did. Go to the BW website and find your needed part number. This product will fit many models or find the Camco equivalent to fit your specifications. N.B. This is not a Hydrojet dip tube that was OE on my water heater and many other BW units. I needed to obtain a replacement quickly to get my BW WH operational. BW Hydrojet dip tubes are available. I did find my OE dip tube but they may take a couple of weeks to special order although this is working quite well so I'm not going to worry about it for now. This repair is done.
