Tell me about it. Cornies and all the ancillaries seem at least double cost in UK!

Make sure that your 6 foot of beer line is 3/16" ID. If you buy 1/4" ID line the resistance is not great enough and your beer will fly out fast and foamy. There is a HUGE difference in resistance from 3/16" and 1/4" even though visibly it looks about the same.
good luck in your kegging!

+ 1 for ball-lock, because of the pressure relief valve, although you really can't see.

It could still be pin lock all of mine have relief valves and they are pin lock .

Good point on the line size Ben. I wish I had known that before I ran 4 lines from my taps to my kegs. I can fill a pint glass (with foam) in about half a second right now.

Don't forget to add a check valve after your regulator to prevent any bier back flowing should your bottle of gas go low or empty as the bier will make a mess inside your regulator. If your feeding a manifold with many taps to many kegs I would add a shut of valve plus check valve to each gas run from the manifold to each keg. Better to be safe besides you can shut the valve and remove or change a keg without disturbing the other kegs and the preset regulator pressure.
