I image, from what I've heard from others, that the racking tube will
deform (melt). Your solution is to get a small section of copper
tubing and a hose clamp. Bend the copper tubing over the edge of the
pot and use it as your siphon pickup. Attach the vinyl tubing to the
copper tubing with a hose clamp. Voila!
