Thought I would post my version, based on others I viewed in this forum. The 1st one I built was basically a 3/4 piece of PVC pipe with an end cap that was drilled to allow water flow. While this worked fine in corny kegs, it restricted the water flow in sankes. Because of this restriction, I went with 1/2 copper for my build. Because my CIP ball is too big for glass carboys, I use a drilled end cap that I can swap out easily with the CIP ball as both are threaded. Had to grind the end cap down slightly for it to fit into the carboy tapered neck. I put a valve inline to allow me to shut off the water to the spray head, this allows me to swap kegs or carboys while cleaning without unplugging the pump, if I were to do this again, would have spent the extra 5 bucks and picked up a single action check valve for this rather than the screw type I have installed. Works great so far on corny kegs and carboys, will test on my sankes once I have one available to clean.
