One way valves on gas lines?

[vensik]

Does anyone use one way valves on your gas lines? With 6 kegs in my kegerator I often have different pressures in them and have had beer shoot up my gas lines mistakenly if one is too full or one of my posts is swapped (stuff happens)

I’ve looked at several one way check valves out there, any one use them on their kegerator? Tired of flushing my gas lines.

I have check valves on all my gas manifolds. Doesnt prevent beer from backing up through the gas lines though. If the gas dip tube is in the beer it will back up a bit, keep the gas lines above the post will keep the backup to a min

These should do the trick

Now that looks interesting, I might try that out. Thanks!

Interesting indeed! The only part I don't like about it is that it's $15 a valve plus shipping, not serviceable, or spare parts available.

I've used these and they work well. Can't disassemble them either.

I have used these for several years and they work great. They are currently out of stock until 3/28/19.
