I don't know that I've seen anyone mention doing this on any of the
homebrew forums, but I find it very convenient. I keep my tank outside
of my kegerator, and I added a "utility" line after my
regulator so that I have access to co2 without opening the door.
On the output of the regulator, I added a splitter, a couple check
valves, and a ball valve on the utility line. The hose coming out the
left goes inside the refrigerator, the one on the right is my utility
line which is about 4 feet long.
At the end of the utility line is a female air tool quick
connect so I can
easily switch between different tools. |

Clockwise starting from top:
- Beer gun co2 line (sometimes used to purge oxygen out of
the the headspace of carboys, in addition to the intended use)
- Blow gun (various uses including blowing out hoses)
- Gas ball lock disconnect (carbonating outside the
kegerator, keg-keg
transfers, commercial carbonator cap)
- Tire chuck (diy carbonator cap)
- Carboy cap (sanitary siphon starting, transferring without
gravity)
