I knew online shopping wasnt going be easy, but my constant change the goal posts & i forget what i bought blah blah blah!!

lads n lasses
i had my NOT LOOKING OUT OF THE BOX BLINKERS ON!
i come with a spaghetti junction plumbing!!
omg it hit me!
why was he plumbing hose to the fursist away reg (the 3rd one)

when i should just plumb in t the first one and go a elbow and on the last one
i’m truly a balloon knot!
so starting from main reg (3/8th) two elbows in to a 3/8-5/16 reducer..hope that makes more sence?

Eventually i got the lines we out and leaks, tbh was a pain to learn the gauges without my glasses.

wanted the order teo o them Nuktaps we flow control but as usual my online experience let me down! got two non flow.
with shanks etc.

i had an elaborate plan of interior tap fittings, cobble something up.
but now happy we this

so think exterior way ahead

waiting on new beer line. and hunt out my saw drill bit.
n measure up.
two co2 taps and 3rd eventually Nitro tap.

If you want flow control then consider the flow control disconnects.
