I use a kegging system. I usually pressurize the keg with the iodophor solution and send it through the tap to clean the tubing. But right now I'm having an issue with my Co2 system, and can't pressurize. I've got a plastic picnic type dispenser on this particular tube, and a standard locking fitting on the other end. I figured I would just rinse it out then put it in a sanitizing bleach solution, but it's airtight. Can I clean this without taking the fittings off the two ends? It's kind of a pain, and I think it will get old.


Thanks.
 
No easy way I can think of short of hooking up your keg and using a gravity siphon by mouth.

This is a good reason to get Disconnects with MFL fittings and barbed swivel nuts.
That way you can disconnect the Disconnect easily.
