Duotight fittings

[Brew Cat]

anyone use these? Thinking of switching over. Basically a PEX like system

 

[Dave Y]

I have them for my R/O system and just recently wrapped my fermenters with them for the glycol chiller. So far, so good. The only issue I’ve had is the adapter fittings, not the duotights .

 

[Minbari]

I use them for keg lines. they work good

 

[Brew Cat]

Figured start here. Somehow connect to the kegs and regulator. Probably leaving the tap lines for now. Stuff ain't cheap. I'll wait for some sale. Not sure who carries them other than More.Beer

My spunding valves use those and my picnic tap 2.0

All of my gas lines are duo tight, I like them

 

[Zambi]

I got them everywhere
Gas lines & picnic tap & spunding valve.
But I started with them so I don't know any better

you have a manifold or regulator? How do you connect the duo tight to the gas? I ask because I spent way, way too much time looking for a barb to duo tight connector to work with my chiller.

Don't think they make such a thing. unscrew the barb and replace it with a duotite fitting.

I suppose I need to clean things a bit, but

I have this board and 2 taps in my fridge along with 2 oxebar 8L kegs

 

[Craigerrr]

My setup is pretty low tech, tees and zip ties...
I like the little valves as I can isolate a keg without disconnect it. I also have one valve before the main line goes into the fridge. I can turn that one off which holds pressure in all kegs, then I can disconnect the Co2 bottle if I need it to move beer or sanitizer in the brew room. I am highly allergic to lifting...

 

[Brew Cat]

These pictures are helpful. Now I have a plan. Start simple then add a header board when stuff goes on sale maybe father's day

When I need my tank elsewhere I shut off the valve with the orange handle there, and the valve between there and the fridge. Then I push on the ring on that duotight fitting and pull the tube out. I have another tube with a gas connector in my brew room to plug in there

yeah I have the shutoff already at the tank. The line comes off with a swivel nut so that part is cake. So basically I just need some hose, a few tees ,elbow, and swivel nut connectors. Most of my disconnects are threaded

Except that you need to spin the threaded connector, and the hose/tube... hence just popping the line out once isolating the kegs.

 

[Brew Cat]

Can't I just screw this to the thead coming off the regulator

Screw it on, yes, then push tube in. With tube installed, and installed to something fixed at the other end as well the tube will resist turning if you try to unscrew that fitting, much easier to push the retaining ring in and pull the tube out.

Isn't that a swivel nut? That's what's on the spunding Valve
