Clifton IG56-4 Immersion Grid for 56L Gastro Tank & FL4CA
£122.00(£146.40 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Clifton IG56-4 is a stainless steel immersion grid designed to sit inside the 56-litre gastro tank and hold vacuum-sealed pouches below the waterline throughout a sous vide cook. It includes a shaped cut-out to accept the FL4CA portable immersion circulator, keeping the unit correctly positioned and the water path unobstructed around the load.
Pouch floating is one of the more consistent sources of variable results in sous vide cookery. As residual air in a sealed pouch expands during cooking, lighter loads will rise to the surface and lose contact with the circulating water. Over a short cook, this is manageable. Over a multi-hour hold — particularly with proteins on an overnight or extended cycle — it becomes a food safety and quality variable that kitchen teams should not have to monitor manually. The IG56-4 removes that variable, which is where its practical value lies.
Operational benefits for kitchen teams include:
- Holds pouches below the waterline throughout extended low-temperature cook cycles
- Supports consistent water circulation and even temperature exposure across all portions
- Keeps the FL4CA circulator correctly seated and positioned within the tank
- Simple to lift out, clean, and reposition between services
This grid is sized specifically for the 56-litre gastro container format and will not seat correctly in smaller tank formats. Operators running 14-litre or 28-litre tanks will need the corresponding grid for those formats. If you are unsure which grid matches your current setup, it is worth confirming before ordering.
The IG56-4 suits any kitchen operating a FL4CA-based sous vide setup with the 56-litre tank — restaurants, hotel kitchens, and cook-chill production environments all use this combination as standard. It is a straightforward accessory, but getting the right grid for your tank makes a meaningful difference to the reliability of your results.
If you would like to confirm compatibility with your current tank and circulator before placing an order, the team is happy to talk it through.
Frequently asked questions
Will this grid fit my existing gastro tank if it is not the Clifton 56-litre format?
The IG56-4 is sized specifically for the Clifton 56-litre gastro tank and will not seat correctly in other tank sizes or third-party containers. If you are running a 14-litre or 28-litre Clifton tank, you will need the corresponding grid for that format. It is worth confirming your tank size before ordering if you are unsure.
Do I need this grid if I am only running short cook cycles?
For brief cooks at lower loads, floating pouches are less likely to cause significant problems. However, for extended holds, overnight proteins, or batch production where consistent results matter, the grid removes an unnecessary variable and reduces the need for manual checks during service.
Is the IG56-4 compatible with circulators other than the FL4CA?
The cut-out in the IG56-4 is shaped to accept the Clifton FL4CA portable immersion circulator. If you are using a different circulator model, the grid will still hold pouches submerged, but the circulator cut-out may not provide a secure fit. It is worth checking with us if your setup uses a different unit.
