Thanks Kee, these are a must have!

[@bareend1494]

I must have these! I MUST! You will just have to start shipping to the United States... PLEASE!

[@StassBrewing]

Looks very cool!

[@Mujajiconcept]

Can you do a video on the soda carbonator? And maybe a way to boost output pressure of a Reverse osmosis system for it to feed the carbonator.

[@scriper88]

I have two of these spunding valves. Both lose the pressure. I've checked everything else on the system and other spunding valves are tight - no idea what to do, they just aren't tight.

[@xryanox]

How do you mount the post on the board?

[@kennethhettinger9209]

Hi, I have purchased all the parts needed to make a double co2 manifold but am having a problem with the terminal fittings. I want to have two Gas Out disconnects like you show the disconnect for the Liquid Out, for the water. (time, 5:08 on youtube) One will be 15 and the other 60psi. What can I use to accomplish this? The Gas Out would need to also be a bulkhead. This set up would let me have just hose connections for the 4 different co2 requirements I have.

[@knightwolf8877]

Love it

[@ashleym2878]

My sounding valve is inaccurate by 5psi how can that be?

[@NetworkGeek280]

Very cool. But please don't deprecated the old ones. I'm sure many would prefer a larger gauge or couple the spunding valve with a pressure transducer.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Good stuff. Look good

[@KegLand]

Thanks Gash. Just out of interest do you have a centralised place we can look up and try your recopies?

[@razorb7321]

You talk about the inline regulator but almost nothing about the new blowtie 2 would be nice to have some sort of info about it. Cheers

[@DiggidyDomich]

A breakdown and cleaning would be appreciated. I'm assuming the pressure gauge can't be submerged.

[@fifis101]

Can you use the regulators for isolating valves? For example can you turn a particular regulator fully off and pull the outlet tube out and it will be remain sealed while the rest of the board is still in use?

[@KegLand]

Yes will totally work like that.

[@enriquesada6842]

Hello, Could you maybe make a video of how to use the spending valve? I just got my Blow tie 2 valve and it came without instructions on how to set for example my fermzilla snubnose to 10 psi.

[@KegLand]

Its pretty straight forward but if you are having difficulty, get in touch with us via email.

[@brandonnelson4164]

What fittings did you use to connect the duotight to the ball post?

[@lostinlymbo13]

*bump* I want to know too!

[@donzapet]

A basic vid on how to install spunding valve correctly on fermzilla pls

[@ejmillion]

Does this mean you would not need the manifold splitter. And use 1 mini reg per keg?

[@paulraymond1804]

Still need some kind of manifold to split the gas lines, whether that be a manifold or several t-joints.

[@AM2PMReviews]

I attached the auto stopping device to my spending valve and now it seems like the valve doesn’t work. Do I have to take it apart and clean it now?

[@KegLand]

Email customer service with a video - they'll help diagnose

[@imandstuff]

Can this also be used as a shutoff valve or would I need a separate inline shutoff for gas?

[@KegLand]

When the inline reg is completely unwound, it will not let any gas pass through.

[@DJ-uv9vw]

any chance you guys are going to come out with a glass rinser for a home bar?

[@RayBilyk]

PLEASE?

[@richardwilkinson77]

Hi. I have one of these and find that the yellow adjustment knob is a little "sticky" in its operation. Would you recommend spraying a little food grade lubricant onto the threads?

[@KegLand]

Yes lubricant onto the threads is fine. Normally the first step is just to give them a clean out. I would wash out with water first because the chances are that it's some dried malt. Dried malt is really stickly.

[@richardwilkinson77]

@@KegLand Thanks. This is the first time I've used so no dried malt could have got in there. I can't put the blowtie 2 with the integrated gauge into water though right?

[@kennethhettinger9209]

I have made a two regulator panel but both BlowTie s, do not fully shut off? Any ideas

[@KegLand]

Is it possilbe for you to email us a video. Sounds a bit strange and quite possibly you need to open it up and clean the inside.

[@enpsce1]

Just got 3, changed the gauges on two, put 20psi of pressure on and they are leaking from the gauges. I’ve tried tightening them more and it’s not working. Any ideas Kee? @kegland

[@jakesales5078]

Yeah mine do the same ai...

[@theforgottenaveng3r663]

@@jakesales5078 I also seem to have a couple that are leaking. I have tested everything I can in my gas system, and the last thing I think it could possibly be is the Reg. Have it set to 30 PSI on the inlet, 14 PSI on the outlet. After a couple of hours, the 30 drops, but the outlet pressure has increased. Can't figure it out

[@kwm2136]

If the gauge fails does it render the valve non-functional?

[@KegLand]

Gauges are easily replaceable.

[@APawky]

That 3rd one over that you have going in and out of the back side, what are you using that for vs the others? I didn't quite follow. Thank you

[@Sharks168]

Water - he said it'll be used to run water through the beer lines to rinse them.

[@KegLand]

That's correct. thanks for that sharks

[@Khaladas]

Possibly a dumb question, but the knob and spring when shipped are not assembled. Does it matter which way the spring is facing when you assemble it? I can't seem to adjust the psi at all on mine, it stays at whatever psi is coming in from my main tank.

[@KegLand]

The spring can face in any direction. Please start with the knob all the way out (anti-clockwise) then turn on the inlet pressure source. Then gradually turn the knob in clockwise until the pressure increases.

[@riverbird7556]

@@KegLand when I dial in the pressure from the main regulato to 20 psi, the duotight secondary regulator immediately jumps to 20psi even though the adjuster is all the way turned out (anticlockwise). Turning the adjuster does nothing? Any ideas?

[@roastin1]

When will the red ones be in stock?

[@KegLand]

Sorry about the wait. About 5 weeks away. It's a new product so we are just in the process of ramping up production of these.

[@fifis101]

You mention that water can go throughg the regulator but can beer go through the blowtie?

[@KegLand]

The inline regs can take both liquid and gas however the spunding valves can only handle gas. Liquids will damage the diaphragm.

[@JorgeLCaetano]

I still don't get how can't the Blowtie and the inline regulator be interchangeable. Aint they doing the same things?

[@KegLand]

No. Internally the parts are quite different.

[@Pownyan]

Is it safe to submerge these to test for leaks?

[@KegLand]

Not the gauge. Any of these gauges are not designed for being immersed in liquid. All other parts are fine to put in water.

[@mattmholliday]

KL10955 Looks interesting

[@KegLand]

Yes this soda carbonator is quite handy. I just got tired of filling up kegs of water. So though it was time to make this device. It's actually a really simple device and works great. I really can't believe someone has not come up with this device earlier.

[@mattmholliday]

@@KegLand Yes, very interesting. I assume it would use less gas as well being that you won't end up with a kegs work of gas lost every time you need to refill. Any Eta on when they will be in stock?

[@keglandau]

@@mattmholliday Yes this is a secondary benefit of this carbonator. The lost gas will be a small cost saving in that respect. Should be in stock in about 1 month.

[@uksam2000]

I use the inline regulator and find that the pressure increases over the course of a few days. Going from 12psi to 17psi on the gauge. Anyone find this?

[@KegLand]

We find the regulator to generally be quite good at holding the same pressure. When setting the presusre two things should be taken into consideration: When you are setting the pressure this mini regulator will no go to the set point instantly. It will allow gas to flow quite fast to begin with and as you get close to the set point the flow rate slows down. So you want to give it about 30-60 seconds to equalise. Secondly these mini guages are not super accurate (accurate to 10% of the guage range). Sometimes just tapping the gauge helps to make the needle settled into it's final position too. Alternatively you can just upgrade to this digital gauge which gives much more accuracy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIizlWR8nJ6th7c

[@uksam2000]

@@KegLand thanks for the reply. I tend to do the pressures while the line is detached from the keg so we're dealing with very small quantities of gas, but I'll take the advice and try to leave it for 5 mins before attaching back to the keg. The digital gauges are definitely being bought when there's some UK or AliExpress stock.

[@richardwilkinson77]

I've found that what you want to do is set your desired pressure using the guage and then rather than shutting the flow, make sure that just the slight hiss is coming from the valve. Check your gauge over a few hours and even days and you should find that it stays constant. Makes sense. If you shut the flow so you can't hear it, your pressure is going to rise!

[@lmixour]

I just got one of these, the spunding one, and the gauge on it seems a bit off ... am I doing something wrong ?

[@lmixour]

It's off by 5psi it seems

[@noomkung]

Can I use the old red one for a regulator?

[@KegLand]

No it works in a different way. Red is only for regulating pressure out of a container not into a container. Although they look similar the function is quite different and internally they are quite different.

[@noomkung]

@@KegLand I told my friend that the white is regulator but he didn't believe me. lol

[@Khaladas]

Another dumb question. Does it work like normal regulators, untighten means less pressure? I can't change the pressure on mine at all. All the way in, is the same as completely removed, same pressure. I have 5 of these and they are all doing the same thing, pretty sure i'm doing something wrong...

[@KegLand]

With the inline regulator and blowtie clockwise is higher pressure for both of them.

[@ChewyBravo888]

Can these be put through an autoclave cycle @ 130deg C?

[@98pharaoh]

Nooo I just bought the old one! Nice improvement though

[@KegLand]

Sorry about that. It's always the way right. Just as you get something we bring out a new model. I know this can be frustrating.

[@updatename6637]

It’s a JUNK !!!!! Almost impossible to regulate pressure for regulator . Bought 5 of them , I wish I could buy one for testing !!!!!!
