beer/gas three way valve

Post by jaroporter » Thu Jul 10, 2014 1:15 pm

hey, i'm looking for a few three way valves (2 switched inlets, one outlet) to connect to beer/gas line, probably 3/8", but haven't had a lot of luck finding anything. only found this branch valve from a1barsupplies that looks like the trick, but with postage it's a pretty expensive call for one/two items.. http://a1barstuff.co.uk/pushfit-branch-valve

i figure plenty of people must use them for switching source lines, or running cleaner through, so anyone know any other places that'd be worth looking, or if there's another technical name that might help searching? cheers

The way these normally work, it the top part of the "T" is constantly open, the leg part of the "T" is then either on or off (controlled by the turn).

I may have a few second hand one spare if your interested.

okay that's interesting to know. appreciate the offer, i'll have a quick think on modifying the plan and get back to you. might just come down to adding an auxilliary shutoff alonside the branch. cheers for the help
