Two Kegs on one C02 tank

[kazmiekr]

Quick question. I'm working on upgrading my one keg system to handle two kegs on one 5lb CO2 tank. I'm wondering if I should get a two way CO2 distribution block or just get a simple "tee" connector to split the lines. It seems like the tee would work fine, but I'm not sure if I'm overlooking something.

Thanks!

It'll work. I have a 4 port manifold , and off of one of the lines I put a 4 way tee to make 3 lines. Works fine.

A tee will work, but will limit you to having the two kegs be at the same pressure.

A ported manifold would have the same limitation. Unless you added secondary regulators.

I have a simple 3 -way plastic hose barb for my 2 kegs.

The only thing nice about on/off valves (at least for me), is the ability to turn off the gas to a keg, crank the pressure up to 30 to force carb (or down to 2-4 for pressure racking) without affecting the other beers pressure.
