How do you handle gas distribution? I'm putting together a three keg setup. The barb coming out of my regulator is a standard 3/8" and my gas in ball locks are 1/4" barbs. Somewhere I have to get from 3/8" to 1/4".
I want to install a gas shut off and check value in each gas line. I found these combo check valves at Micromatic (Beer Gas Regulator Shutoff), but I would need to step down to 1/4" hose three times, once for each ball lock. Not impossible, but it seems to be a significant increase in the places gas can leak out. Ideally I'd like to find a manifold with a 3/8" barb going in, 3 gas shutoff/check valves with 1/4" barbs going out.
Any suggestions or do I just bite the bullet and buy 3/8" to 1/4" adapters a lot of clamps?
