So I was thinking... just like a sprinkler system tends to have a main valve to prevent wasted water, wouldn't it make sense to have a main valve in your gas line before the manifold to prevent leaks?
I'm building a 6 tap keezer; just think of all the parts co2 can leak from;
Posts on kegs x6 = 12
keg lids = 6
pressure relief valves = 6
keg gas connector = 6
and whatever other fittings there are between the tank and the end product. By the time you're done there's close to 50 locations where gas could potentially escape...
So is there anything like an electrical main valve that you can wire to a switch on the front of your keezer? (in the collar next to the temp regulator I was thinking) Seems like this would eventually more than pay for itself. Leaks are inevitable; eventually I think most people lose at least a few tanks worth of co2 over the course of x years. All you have to do is flick the switch before you pour.
Am I missing something?
Thanks!
