Moving up to a bigger keezer (10-tapper, here I come!) and have decided that I don't want to wrestle with getting barbs on Bev-Seal Ultra again. I'm running the 3/16" version, which I'll order more of, and have found that I need to buy these fittings:
5/16 x 5/8 BSPP (PI451015FS) for shank side
5/16 x 1/4 Flare (PM4508F4S) for disconnect side
That's the easy part. Since my QD's, manifold and primary have MFLs, I'd like to convert the gas over as well. I currently use the red Bevlex 200 5/16 ID x 9/16 OD line. But the John Guest 1/4 female flare fittings only go up to 3/8" OD line, so something has to give.
My options seem to be:
1- Abandon the BevLex and swap the gas to BevSeal Ultra also.
2- Abandon the BevLex and swap to vinyl gas lines (perhaps UltraFlex?).
3- Suck it up and deal with coils of thick, opaque BevLex everywhere.
Option 1 seems like it would look weird. Option 2 seems like it might impart vinyl flavor. Option 3 is not idea.
Any input? I'd like to place the order in a few hours.
