I never liked just sliding the racking tube onto the cane, not sure why but I always found it a PITA.  Now I do not have to bother with it, I put a flair fitting on my racking cane so it will be easier for me to swap between the hoses for filling a single keg, multiple kegs or transferring from one vessel to another.

Cool... but it's a lot of bits to clean and sanitize.

Seeing I push sanitizer from the keg through my racking cane before I keg and have the hoses in a bucket of star san I do not see it being any issue.

It should be fine. I worry about threads and stuff not getting completely clean/sanitized. I probably go to far. I disassemble all the parts on my Blichman conical and pressure steam all the fittings.

I have to look at it really good but I am not sure how much internal thread will be touched the way it is set up.  Nice part about SS is you can easily boil it.

Nice work. I could use something like that. I sometimes will jump from one sanke to another using my TC caps. I currently just use a short piece of hose and clamps. This is a much better connection. 

 

My sour beer transfers I use the brass hydraulic QD's on everything which works ok too.
