After a messy bout with pressurized fermentation in corny kegs using one spunding valve with 3 kegs daisy chained together, I came up with a solution.
I had this put together using fittings, but was able to get something a little better machined out of a stainless block. It's basically a block of stainless with 5 - 1/4" npt holes tapped into 5 sides of it. One hole gets the spunding valve, the top hole gets a 0-30 psi gauge, the other 3 holes are the lines coming from the kegs. I usually make 11 gallon batches to end up with 2 FULL kegs, which is too much to ferment in 2 kegs, so I set it up for 3. The valves aren't really necessary since each hose will have a gas ball lock fitting, but I had them, so that's what I used.
I hope to test it out soon.
