I took advantage of the Midwest and Northern Brewer 20% discounts for today. I was tired of my cobbled together co2 system leaking and not being able to keep all the kegs carbed in my chest freezer. Manifolds, barb fittings, ball lock connectors, lines, clamps, etc for 15 gas lines + 1 for the beer gun on order. 

 

I saved some serious coin, Black Friday isn't all bad.

What did your system look like before where it wasn't working?

I need to spend some time on my CO2 system.  I have a leak somewhere that I need to find, not looking forward to that.

2 way splitter on the regulator with one leg going to a 4 way manifold. 5/16 tubing but the gas ball lock connects were 1/4 so not a great seal. Not all my keg gas poppets would seal perfectly, so I'd end up with depressurized kegs if they weren't hooked up to the gas.

 

Also, no check valves. I'd occasionally get back up into the gas line if the kegs were too full.

 

All the parts are in, just need to get to work.

That's why I use oetiker clamps. But you need to match the clamp to the tubing size.

I also use them and matched the the size. I think it there is a leak in one of the 4 secondary regulator bodies.
