Hi
Apologies if this is a silly question but I just wanted to know if anyone uses a double ended joiner (if they exist) to connect gas lines. I don't like having to unscrew the line at the regulator and I am not a fan of manifolds. I just want to plug my beer gun in to my gas line every now and then to fill bottles. I was hoping a QD would work on the beer gun line as my gas line has a QD on it permanently and hoping it was just a matter of plugging them in. Only other solution I could think of was to use something like the
Carbonation & Line Cleaning Cap from KegLand.

do you mean fill beer bottles with gas? or with beer
 
Double adaptor for QD's (gas and liquid fit). Only from the US, so expect the postage will be excessive. https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/ball_lock_jumperpost.htm

EDIT - sorry, despite the description saying it fits both gas and liquid, a bit further down it states liquid only and there are a few complaints in their comments section backing this up. Sorry, I thought I was onto a winner for you.

Pretty much exactly the kind of thing I am after! If only it was gas as well!

Have you considered putting a gas post directly on your regulator? If you use a keg king or kegland reg, the ports are all 1/4 bsp, so you can attach a bulkeahd post directly to your regulator.

I have done this with mine and it works a treat.

Only downside is you will need am extra gas disconnect for your existing gas line.
 
Maybe something like this.

Hi dbbad, the only silly question is the one you don’t ask! I have seen just what you're after at our local brewing shop, twist lock with orings, I was after one for the same purpose. It was typical cheap plastic and I stopped trusting that carp a long time ago.

Now I just inject C02 into the bottles from a plastic line from a second regulator and turn it on and off from the reg to flush the bottles. It normally has a quick disconnect on which I only use for flushing kegs and lines etc.
 
Thanks for the replies. I think I will give them all a try. I had thought it out but obviously you guys had thought it out more. Cheers!
