Hi Jaybird,
I have an assembly I kind of MacGyvered together to wash cornie and sanke kegs that I would like to improve upon and hoping you can help me with that. I’ll private message you with pics of what I have built and see what you can do
Send it. Happy to take a look. I have a system I built years ago and LOVE IT! Maybe I can assist.

Cheers
Jay
 
Jay,
Do you have a CNC to cut the slots in a false bottom. Stainless steel 1/8" thick. If you think you can do this I'll send you the exact dimensions.

CNC Plasma table is on the way. Vendor is a bit delayed but I will have one here shortly.

Lets come back to this after I get it in and set up. Unless you get it built elsewhere before then.

@Jaybird would you have the ability to do a custom manifold from 1" tubing? Don't have a picture handy but I've made something up from 2 TC tees and 2 TC elbows that I *think* is what I want but its kind of ridiculously unwieldy. I'm thinking once I get it nailed down I'd like to look into getting something fabricated.

I see the raw building blocks are available, eg: 304 Stainless Steel Polished 90 Degree Tee for Butt Weld Fittings - for 1" Tube OD - Pkg Qty 2

I have a vendor I use for 1" weld parts. I'll check their stock. But to answer your ?? yes we have built several manifolds. They are not exactly cheap but we can put it together for you. Yes I can do 1/2" all the way to 3"

Cheers

Just throwing this out......How much, if you're able, to add some 1.5 TC ports to a Spike conical lid? Spike offers two additional 1.5 TC ports to their conicals and stainless buckets now, but are unable to add those ports to the old style lids.

I could just buy the updated lid, but then what use do I have with the old lid? Definitely don't want to have a spare part with no use taken up space in my brewery. Thanks in advance!

I have taken on those jobs in the past, welding to thin kettles and lids and unfortunately they never turn out without some sort of warpage that makes them either unsightly or unusable. There is a reason Ben wont do it man. I would just suggest just purchase the one with the port in it. I do appreciate you thinking of us though.

No problem man. Thanks for the reply back and for the clarification. I guess I'll just keep what I have, unless there's a need for used conical lids.
 
Hey Jay, you still around? Looking for something like this:

Is there a female garden/faucet thread to a male thread thats on the quick disconnects? Would be great to flush and clean lines. Like when beer gets into my co2 lines!
Cheers!
