CPG222 Air Distributor, CO2 Manifold, 2 Way, 5/16"

This manifold was exactly what I was looking for and worked wonderfully. I purchased a full sized kegerator from a friend with the idea being that I would use the kegerator for dispensing homebrew. Most homebrew batches are 5 gallons which means that I can store, easily, 2 5gal kegs in the kegerator but I only have room for one CO2 tank. The manifold works to allow both kegs to carbonate at the same time.When it arrived, I used double sided foam tape and two small screws to attach the manifold securely to the inside of the kegerator. I would suggest using air line specific hosing, and follow the diameters exactly. When done so, it does take some elbow grease to attach the line to each of the barbed fittings. Although, technically not needed, use some hose clamps as well.I used this manifold in conjunction with Ball Lock style connectors which does allow for additional sealing when one connector is not hooked up, but the ball valves attached are great for closing pressure while initially connecting the air line. The ball valves do not act as regulators, and should not be thought as regulators. Instead, they simply open and close pressure to the line. To regulate one line independently, you would need to have a separate regulator on the line.Eventually, I may upgrade with independent regulators, but for now I am very happy with this purchase.

My CO2 tank is plugged into a 4-way manifold. Two are open for things like purging fermentation vessels, kegging, etc. The other two go into my two kegerators. Inside each kegerator is a 2-way manifold going to the two 5-gallon kegs inside. Just make sure to spray with something (star-san, water & soap) and make sure your connections are tightened down completely. They are a simple, intuitive design and they just work. Great value.

When turning the valve on and off, a little gas leaks.

I selected this barbed switching valve so that My wife could switch between her BiPAP and her her 50-ft airline that can reach areas in the house that she likes to work. The important part is that the valve barbs are larger than what would be for an aquarium switching valve.We tried but that didn't work. Didn't supply enough oxygen for her. You have to have strong fingers and I also used a construction needle nose set of pliers to put the airlines over the barbs. Be prepared for a little battle.

I purchased this CO2 manifold when converting my single tap kegerator to a double. After reading the online reviews I was a bit skeptical due to complaints with metal shavings and leaks, however 1 year later everything has been working fine so far. I didn't take it apart and clean it when I first got it, but only due to pure laziness on my part. Probably not too difficult if I wanted to put in the effort. No leaks so far and for the price you can't beat it!

I just received this today so time will tell, but so far I am very satisfied. I had only read the other reviews after I purchased it from Draft Warehouse via Amazon, it arrived today only two days after my order was placed with standard shipping. Upon opening the package I partially disassembled the manifold by removing the inlet barb and end plug to check for any oil or metal shavings but I saw none and a rag ran through the body of the manifold came out clean, I don't know if mine was from a different seller than others who were complaining of theirs being dirty, but mine was clean and ready to go out of the package. Other reviewers had mentioned there being cleaning recommendations shipped with theirs but I did not have any. Anyway, I applied a bit of RectorSeal #5 to the screw fittings I had removed, attached my CO2 line and submerged it in a water bath to see if there were any leaks. None. It is now installed so I'll update if I notice any leaks or longevity issues, but so far this looks like a great bargain.

Not much more to say. We had this in our kegerator for barely two months. Yesterday went to grab a beer and nothing came out. Checked the CO2 tank and it was empty. Checked all the hose connections and they were all good. Ended up finding the leak on this manifold where the main body had actually cracked and was leaking from there. No way to fix that unfortunately. Not to mention this one is more expensive than some other options. I thought that may have been due to being of higher quality, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

this is a good manifold. I installed it and it never leaked, great job on getting the fittings tight from the factory. A must buy.
