Co2 Regulators

[1BigFishWithFly]

Hi - New to the forum. Just starting a keezer build with a two keg tower system and trying to learn what parts to order. Is there a redundancy in ordering a Two Product Dual Pressure Kegerator CO2 Regulator and a
Gas Manifold, Beer Gas Distributor, CO2 Manifold (2-Way)? If only one item is necessary, is it the CO2 regulator? Confused.

The dual pressure regulator would be useful if you want different pressures on each keg. If using the same pressure on both a single regulator and distribution block would be your solution.

If more than two kegs can fit inside the keezer (btw, are we sure that's what's going on here?) then a dual body reg plus a manifold with a pair of "outputs" could actually prove useful.
One could hook the two kegs up to one regulator with the intervening manifold, and use the other regulator to carbonate the third keg.

Otherwise...if only two kegs can fit, either a dual body regulator, or a single body and the manifold, would be useful. Not both...

Cheers!

This is exactly what I do in mine.

Thanks for the reply guys. It is a keezer (small chest freezer) and I have room for 4-6 corny kegs. I have ordered a dual tower with perlick 650s. I would like to have a third keg ready to go in the rotation as one keg finishes so maybe the manifold is a good idea for a quick switch in and out.

4-6 kegs?

Fair warning: you're going to wish you had a three faucet tower...

Cheers! (maybe it's not too late to change your order? )

I have a dual regulator, with one line feeding into a 4-way manifold. That allows me to run one at higher pressure (for force carbonating, also for running a soda tap), and the manifold runs at dispensing pressure. I'm saving up to swap out the dual regulator for a bank of 3 secondary regulators, still with one running into the manifold. That will allow me to move the co2 tank outside the keezer and run 3 different pressures (dispense, carbonation, soda).
