Thought I'd share my build. I didn't really document it very well photographically because it has been done quite a few times.
Having said that, I did use all stainless fittings and added a few to make my Randall experience easier to use.
Here is what I started with:
Parts List Spreadsheet - fully linked to each individual part.
This is one of the images I will share with you, it is a SS MFL tee with a 1/4"FFL x 3/8" MFL adapter added in order to fit a liquid firestone post on it.
My purpose for doing this is that I didn't want to have only a barbed FFL fitting on my beer line to my draft tower. The issue seemed obvious to me. Without a QD it would be too easy to make a mess disconnecting anything if there was still beer in the line.
In addition, I can easily switch between keg x tower, and keg x Randall x tower, with minimal mess and clean up.
Here is the Randall with the lines attached, I do have the "jumper"line that will go between the keg and Randall attached incorrectly in this photo, but you get the gist of it.
And here is the unit in the kegerator, it is a snug fit.
I have 10' of beer line coiled around the unit that runs from keg to the Randall, and a 5' section of line that runs to the picnic faucet to help control foaming. The unit is kept in the kegerator chilled to aid in reducing foam, and providing some longevity to the hops/fruit/coffee/chocolate/whatever else is in the Randall.
I also have the write-up posted here if you'd like to take a look.
