Replace hose barbs with male flare on 4 way distributor?
|
|
So I've got one of these:
Occasionally, I forget to depressurize a keg as I put it in my serving keezer and beer backs up in the line. So when this happens, I have to yank of the ear clamp and cut off the line, which resulted in breaking one of the hose barbs. They are fairly fragile.
I'd like to find new check valves with flare fittings versus the barb ones. Has anyone seen ones with flares?

Can't you just replace the MPT/barb fittings with MPT/MFL fittings?
Cheers! |

They are not NPT coming out of the check valve.
