Has anyone had any experience with A CMB gas disconnect with built in check valve? I am having issues where if I set my serving pressure at 10psi no gas seems to go in or it goes in very slowly making slow pours, if I set my pressure above 15 psi u can clearly hear gas going in. Using a gas disc with no check valve I could hear gas going in and had a good pour, any ideas?
 
Sounds like the check valve is stuck, haven't seen these ones but check valves will typically have a minimum force required to open in the direction of flow, if these are commercial disconnects they may not be suitable at homebrew keg pressures. Pubs typically dispense around 350kPa (50 PSI) so a much higher working force to drive the check valve open.
