I've got a couple keggles in the works, so very soon I'll be installing fittings and such and I'm starting to think about quick disconnects.
I really like what I'm seeing with the camlocks available on bargainfittings.com. I've seen a few different threads about them, and I plan to use one the approach where you stretch 1/2" OD silicone tubing over 1/2" NPT male threaded connectors coming off the camlocks - I figure I'll have the option of better flow rates that way, if anything.
Anyway, I've seen several suggestions about inserting a 90 degree street elbow into that connection and, while it sure as heck looks cool, I'm not sure that it accomplishes much other than to add a few bucks to the cost of each connection. Is there some really good reason (other than the afformentioned cool factor) to go with the street elbows?
Is there some other even better option for QD's that's in the same ballpark price-wise?
