Okay, I bought a used Keg Connection CO2 manifold from another member.
I didn't realize I needed to take into account different size barbs (1/4" or larger).
This is my first time kegging and realized last night I didn't have the right barb size!
I went to General Air today and got some 1/4" brass barbs that will work for now but need some suggestions:
1. I can replace the barb going into the manifold fine, but where can I get cheap 1/4" check valves? I'd like to go local and save on shipping.
FYI you can take the barbs off the check valves but the threads aren't "normal." You can't just put a new size barb on it.
2. Do they sell larger than 1/4" barbed gas in connections for cornies? I've only seen 1/4".
3. Does someone make/sell a piece that can connect a 3/8" line to a 1/4" line?
I was thinking of a piece with 2 barbs on each end that would act as a line reducer to put together different size lines.
A generic image of my manifold is below.
