6 Gauge Regulator/manifold Opinions?

[reVoxAHB]

I'm considering the purchase of a 6 gauge (Taprite) regulator/manifold for use in dispensing.

The manifold will allow for individual pressure control of each keg, rather than pressure stabalisation common to gas manifolds such as this:

The seller has taken the manifold apart, cleaned, inspected and tested to 100% working, no leaks. The faces on the gauges have a little surface rust (& comes with caps) but otherwise, cosmetically fine. The manifold will be used secondary, behind my Micromatic reg which is attached to the C02 cylinder.

I can do this for $140AUD landed. Pics

Thoughts? Comments?

Thanks for your time,

At that price Revox, snap it up before someone else does. It looks in good nick also. Even if you replace some of the gauges it will still be a good buy.

If it were mounted on a stainless board and was new expect to pay $2000 :icon_cheers:

a bargin....
six way manifolds are around $70, so twice that for a 6 way manifold with regulator is a steal.

even a two outlet regulator is around $100+ depending on quality.

Even if you decided you didn't want it, you'd easily get your money back and more if you sold it here.

Awesome control, especially as each has a valve. I'm interested to know what you would set your primary pressure at. I have a 2 pressure banked micromatic and love it. At 6 working pressures, you have 3 times the impressiveness.

In the pic were the regs holding pressure? I would have thought that the regs would not have been and the pressure should be reading 0 and not 50psi. Especially the one on the right which has the valve open which should be releasing the pressure.

Generally how these are set up is :
First reg wall mount on the bank has a feed hose at tank pressure, this first reg mount should have a larger dial which shows full bottle pressure. Each reg then has its own dial and adjustment but is supplied full bottle pressure.
Drew , replacing the read out dials is a small cost when you consider how little RV paid for the system. Most were probably damaged by havlng the regs screwed in for pressure when the bottle was turn on , a BIG no no. :icon_cheers:

That is awesome, would love to have the option of running different pressures for the kegs.

six way manifolds are around $70,

Sorry for the hijack but where can you get a six way manifold with taps and fittings for $70? I am looking to purchase same.

You can get one from here:

It is only 5, but take the plug out of the end and install another barb and it becomes 6. It is what I have done in the past.

With shipping it will only be just over $80.
