Thank you for posting this picture! I bought a gravity feed iron last year and have not used it very much because of the tubing/cord problem. I “engineered” a solution in my head that is very similiar to yours, but after seeing your picture and explanation I was brave enough to “just do it”!

I use a long piece of doubled elastic, which I hook just under the bottle. I adjust as necessary, by knotting up the elastic as it “grows”. Evenutally, the elastic loses it’s stretch and needs to be replaced.

An off topic here – the family photo on your wall board brought ’s. As did the “hands.”

I too have this problem. A hook in the ceiling with a chain to hold the tube/cord up is brilliant!

I have to see if I can rig something similar. My cords keep catching on the edge of my ironing table and driving me nuts. My biggest issue is that the water is attached to a beam the end of the table and the next beam is about 4 or 5′ away. I’ll show it to my resident engineer.

Pure genius! And to think I’ve been fighting with mine for 19 years.
