just curious. my old kegerator i had three kegs in it, and all i did was use stainless steel "T" fittings, to split the one co2 line from the tank to the three kegs. i used that for quite awhile, and never had any issues. now my new set up will have five kegs, and i'm thinking of doing the same. i can't understand why i would shell out big bucks for a five way co2 manifold, when i can just use these stainless steel "T" fittings instead. i know that the mainifolds have a sort of check valve, but i also don't understand why i would ever need those. i can't think of any way that beer would ever get into my co2 lines, unless i accidentally hooked up the co2 fitting into the beer post, and even then, i can't understand how it could happen, since with the co2 always on, it's always pushing pressure into the keg, and not pulling.
