    pressure calculations for cold plate box

    That sounds good to me. I was planning on using 1/4" ID hose from the keg to the plate to reduce resistance a little, and then use the 3/16" ID hose from the plate to the faucet. Thoughts on that?

    pressure calculations for cold plate box

    Thanks for the example. Are all of those 15 boxes running off 1 regulator?? And yes, thanks for the tip.

    pressure calculations for cold plate box

    Thanks for the input. I understand about the carbonation part... it's going to be 13.3lbs into each keg just having it set on 13.3. But, does anyone at least know about how the 6 faucets being on there will affect the resistance? And yea, I guess it doesn't matter if I have to have the...

    pressure calculations for cold plate box

    I'm working on getting a jockey box with a 6 pass cold plate built. I need to get it done asap, because I'm using it at a festival on May 5th. I want to serve 6 beers and I'm having trouble figuring out the line length I need to use and at what pressure. I bought the plate used (10" x 15") w/...

    need help on burner plumbing!!

    I can't believe there isn't anything in there about changing the orifice. That makes sense though, instead of it just being an extra insert when there is already one in the pilot burner. The burner that works properly is still a little low, so I'll just have to find another higher pressure...

    need help on burner plumbing!!

    Here's my attempt at justifying the regulator madness. The honeywell valves have a max inlet of 0.5psi, and a max btu capacity of 200K. Each burner is 200K. So, if I have 1 gas main, and only 1 regulator on that main, I'm either going to be over the 0.5psi limit for the valve if I have only 1...

    1.5 BBL direct fired build

    I've been working this 1.5bbl system(pictures above), and I've finally got all the plumbing done, valves hooked up, and ready to go... or so I thought. It's a single tier, 3 burner system, with the HLT and mash tun controlled with honeywell valves. Here's the setup from tank to burner. A 500K...

    need help on burner plumbing!!

    burners on!! You can see the valve controlled burners are incredibly weak. I don't know if it's the valves or a combo of the valves and the regulator I've got connected to the cylinder. The REALLY strange part is, adjusting the gas pressure screw either way on the valve doesn't change the flame...
