Works as it should. Easy to install no more back ups.
Almost killed a Dist. valve with blow back.this solved the problem.
Worked perfectly, didn’t jam up. The other, less expensive, brand I purchased got stuck shut within a week, while these kept on trucking.
Works as it should. Easy to install, no more back ups.
No more beer backing up into the CO2 gas line when the tank goes empty
I was tired of moving my 5 gal kegs and seeing beer in the CO2 line. I switched to check valves to eliminate the issue. However, the post check valves seemed to have a leak. I thought I had defective post check valves and bought brand new ones, which cause all the CO2 to empty from the keg and the CO2 tank. After switching to the inline check valve, I have not had any keg or CO2 tank to empty overnight.
Very happy with this product. I force-carbonate my beers in Corney Kegs inside my kegerator. I have always had problems with beer in the gas lines when carbonating multiple kegs at once. This nifty little gizmo solves that problem, and I wish I had it long ago. Easy to use without any tools to connect/disconnect. Highly recommended!
Ever have beer get into your gas line? I hate that. This keeps that from happening.Happy now.
Stops beer from back following out my co2 inlets if I forget to vent off keg pressure before putting a keg on tap at serving pressure if it was already at a higher pressure for carbonation. Also keeps lines clean if using a soda bottle with carbonation cap and shaking to force carb small samples. Over all saves on potential line cleaning on all CO2 lines.
What’s the max pressure rating?
Not sure I have used it up to 30 lbs when force carbing. You could ask by emailing CMbecker at: info at cmbecker dot com
Is there a way to disassemble it for cleaning?
I have not figured out a way to do that. Doesnt seem possible without breaking.
Yes You can clean this.
Does anyone have a cleaning procedure for when beer ends up in these or is there a disassembly manual out there?
Did this happen? I bought this to prevent this from happening and never had a problem since.
If my regulator already has a shut off check valve NPT to Flare/barb would i get backup protection from this CM Becker Inline Disconnect Check Valve hooked up to my Quick Disconnect or would it provide no extra protection or would it possibly cause a negative reaction? The reason i ask is that right now the last line of defense for my regulator is the regulator's built in shut off check valve but it is screwed directly into the regulator. That seems a little to close for comfort. Will i still get liquid in my gas line right up to the shut off check valve on my regulator? Can i install this CM becker inline disconnect check valve onto my quick disconnect and still use my regulators shutoff check valve or is it useless or even a negative to do that? Maybe i just need to trust my regulator check valve but it would be nice to have double the protection in case one fails. Does anyone else worry about this or am i being overly cautious. I am new to kegging.
You can sure do that. It won't hurt anything and check valves are known to fail - rarely but it does happen. The only downside I could see is you might have to increase pressure slightly (1 psi) as they do provide some resistance. The main thing to always remember is that beer flows from high pressure to low. Don't overfill kegs don't over carbonate and always double check you're connecting your gas disconnect to the right post. Check valves are just insurance. I've gone through several regulators learning these lessons.
It's to keep liquid out of your gas line at the disconnect on the keg. I have one on each keg disconnect for this reason. It saves you having to clean the lines if you get liquid in there.
What size flares are on the ends?
1/4”. Can fit on to a standard ball lock connector or take a 1/4” (flare fitting) nut.
This disconnect uses 1/4" flare threads. This is the standard size you find on most kegging equipment.
