More Info
Highlighted Features
  • Adjustable Range: The pressure range of the gas meter is adjustable from 0 to 60 PSI, allowing you to freely adjust the intake pressure of carbon dioxide gas, thus controlling the foaming texture of beer and ensuring that the beer-making process and results meet your needs and expectations.
  • Pressure Stability: The pressure relief valve autonomously adjusts the pressure to release at 65 PSI, preventing pressure relief under low pressure. This detail design ensures the quality and quantity of the brewed beer, without being affected by pressure issues.
  • Leak-proof: The gas meter comes with gaskets and clamps, both of which help you secure the gas meter to the beer keg and prevent gas leakage. This design guarantees the stability and reliability of the gas meter.
  • Versatile Compatibility: The carbon dioxide gas meter interface standard is CGA320, compatible with hose calibers of 8mm, making it compatible with various beer kegs. The installation is simple and quick, making your beer-making process more convenient.
  • Backflow Prevention: The gas meter is equipped with a check valve to prevent beer from flowing back due to pressure issues. This design ensures a smoother and more stable beer-making process while also maintaining the cleanliness of the beer keg.

 

Why a two pressure regulator?  A two pressure regulator gives you the ability to keep kegs at different pressures.  This is a requirement to maintain two distinct carbonation levels.  It’s also handy if you want to force carbonate a keg more quickly, at a higher pressure, while maintaining your standard serving pressure on a keg that’s already being served or if you want to have a utility line for purging kegs and such.

Troubleshooting DuoTight Leaks + Limited Time DEAL

Updated: 6/9/2024

Kegland’s DuoTight Fittings are designed to work with EVABarrier Double Wall Tubing.  They offer quick, reliable connections, easy implementation, a variety of fitting options and feature amazing versatility.  They’re also, generally speaking, very well priced.  DuoTights are push to connect fittings and require no tubing clamps.

DuoTights are… awesome.  Check out my extensive Hands on Review

I’ve done several pressure tests with DuoTight Fittings and EVABarrier Tubing. Each test has proven the tested components were leak free. Having said that, it’s entirely possible that you’ll have a leak. This happens with any tubing system, that’s why we… check for leaks.

I have a write up for addressing DuoTight Leaks that will walk you through some things to check.


Limited Time DEAL

Valuebrew offers a lineup of food grade keg replacement o-rings in bulk quantities.  Choose from silicone, buna-n and even EPDM.  Everything they carry is food grade, more info below.  They have some unique offerings like bulk pin lock size post o-rings, replacement universal poppet o-rings, bulk internal QD o-rings and color coded Blue and Green post o-rings

Some of these offerings are featured in our Keg Rebuild How-To

Valuebrew is discounting bulk food grade o-rings, DuoTight Compatible Gear, Universal Poppets and ball lock jumpers by an EXTRA 15% when you spend $30 or more.  This stacks on top of existing discounts. Use coupon code fathersday

Remember coupon code fathersday with an order of $30 or more


One of the things that I do that really helps is use Valuebrew’s DuoTight Compatible Locking Clips. These snap into the collar of DuoTight Fittings and lock connections in place. This makes the connection more secure and reduces the chances of leakage.

Hands on Review: Kegland Inline Secondary Regulator

DuoTight Inline Regulator that has been updated to digital, see below for walk through of that process.

Updated: 5/23/2024

Multi-Pressure CO2 Options

Maintaining multiple CO2 pressures in your kegerator gives you the ability to… keep kegs at different pressures.  This is a requirement to maintain different carbonation levels. It’s also handy if you want to force carbonate a keg more quickly, at a higher pressure, while maintaining your standard serving pressure on a keg that’s already being served or if you want to have a utility line for purging kegs and such. continues below…

The general options for pulling this off are…

  • A multi-pressure primary CO2 regulator – example. This has two (or potentially more) high pressure bodies that allow you set different pressures.
  • Secondary CO2 regulators – example. These have no ability to connect to a CO2 tank directly. They must be connected to a compatible primary.

Both good options, but generally expensive.

Kegland to the rescue. Kegland has introduced economical inline secondary regulators. As of this review there are three options.

But first, more about DuoTight!

Kegland’s DuoTight Fittings are designed to work with EVABarrier Double Wall Tubing.  They offer quick, reliable connections, easy implementation, a variety of fitting options and feature amazing versatility.  They’re also, generally speaking, very well priced.  DuoTights are push to connect fittings and require no tubing clamps.

Check out my extensive Hands on Review

Hands on Review Kegland Inline Regulator w/Gauge

A look at the regulator. It has a pressure gauge, adjustment knob, inlet and outlet DuoTight ports and mounting holes.A closer look at the pressure gauge. This one goes to 60 PSI. Other gauge options may be available. This is a huge improvement vs v1. v1 feature no gauge. There is an updated DuoTight compatible inline (v2) version that has no gauge. That keeps costs down but still adds DuoTight compatibility. If you choose a model without a gauge, this is another great application of a Spunding Valve.

  • Pressure Stability: The pressure relief valve autonomously adjusts the pressure to release at 65 PSI, preventing pressure relief under low pressure. This detail design ensures the quality and quantity of the brewed beer, without being affected by pressure issues.
  • Leak-proof: The gas meter comes with gaskets and clamps, both of which help you secure the gas meter to the beer keg and prevent gas leakage. This design guarantees the stability and reliability of the gas meter.
  • Versatile Compatibility: The carbon dioxide gas meter interface standard is CGA320, compatible with hose calibers of 8mm, making it compatible with various beer kegs. The installation is simple and quick, making your beer-making process more convenient.
  • Backflow Prevention: The gas meter is equipped with a check valve to prevent beer from flowing back due to pressure issues. This design ensures a smoother and more stable beer-making process while also maintaining the cleanliness of the beer keg.
