Regulator Relocation

[Smashing]

Has anyone plumbed their regulator away from the tank? I have a very small house and I can't see the reg where I need to put my tank. I know we're talking a lot of PSI here so obviously no PVC or tubing but what about copper or black iron pipe?

You can get a high pressure line.

I have the same one, but I found mine used on eBay for $10.

Don't forget, once you set the regulator and get it dialed in, you'll rarely have to look at it. My regulator is right on the other side of my kegerator and i don't think i've seen it for 4 months.

That is true but I'd like to put in a split for a "utility" line to do thinks like push transfers, cleaning and such. Most of those things I don't want to do with the 11 psi my kegerator uses so I would need access to the reg. No thoughts on metal pipe?

i have - i used copper tubing and flare nuts. i have also manifolded multiple gauges in different locations off one bottle using galvanized threaded pipe. I had no problems, but changing the bottle was always a pain (20 pound bottle- so not often). But i am happier since i relocated everything and made a place for my bottle and regs.

What about a standard double regulator on the tank set at 30 psi which feeds into a bank of secondary regulators elsewhere?

Great ideas! Thanks
