Shut off valve on beer line

[Hi im dave]

Hi all,

If I put a shut off valve on my beer line would that cause any issues? My goal is to use this and lock the kegerator door instead of using a tap lock.

More stuff to clean and sanitize, if that's an issue for you. Otherwise, not really. But chrome plated brass probably isn't the best choice. Stainless Steel would be better.

I definitely agree but for the life of me I can’t find 3/16 in stainless steel

What kind of beer line do you use? There is this:

I think that is going to be perfect thank you so much. Glad to be here! I’m relatively new to the hobby. I just finished my fifth batch and I love brewing

^ note that this duotight valve fits 9.5mm OD tubing, i.e. EVABarrier tubing, and won't really work with anything else.
