Three Way Tap?

[drag]

At the moment is I have a celi tap that is hooked up to a corny with beer, I want to hook up another corny at the celi tap and if posible change from one input hose to another input hose with a lever coming through the fridge door.
Im getting sick of using a bronko tap for dispensing my ginger beer abd having to degas the keg before I pour, and wasting alot of gas.
Has anyone seen anthing like this and what tap material should I steer clear of if any?

Somthing like this

Would it work ok with 1/4 fittings?

I just purchased 3 meters of hose from the local HBS and fitted it to the tap.

Pours fine now. No need to de-gas etc

you want some sort of manifold like this

OR

make one up yourself using a T piece & a couple of valves

Crozdog, would you use a gas manifold to split the different output of kegs to the tap? I think drag is wanting to split the input to the Tap, i.e. have both keg 1 and keg 2 hooked up to the tap and change what it pours. Could be wrong here, but that was how I read it.

Thats exactly what I want Maple.
Easy to change from the outside of the fridge with little amount of swaped fluid mixed at change over.

G'day Drag,
Brass is considered to be unsuitable for beer dispensing as the acid content can leech nasties out of it. You can buy stainless 1/4" three way ball valves from places like Pirtek (local independant hose/ couipling suppliers are often cheaper). Make sure you buy L type as opposed to T type so you don't get keg to keg transfers. You just need to buy some barbs or push fit connectors (John Guest) to interface the beerline to the tap . You could probably extend the shaft through the door so the valve and line says internal.
Good luck
Cheers
Doug

I was using that pic as an illustration of the concept. It just depends on what you hook up where & which taps you turn on. I'd go with the Tpiece & 2 valves if it was me. connect each keg to the t with a valve in between. connect the common output of the t to the celi. If you want to drink from keg 1 have valve 1 on & valve 2 off. To drink from keg 2 turn valve 1 off (before opening valve 2 to prevent inter-keg transfers) then open valve 2.

dunno how you do that from outside the fridge but....

yeah, this was along the same lines as i was thinking Crozodg. or just save the money that you'd spend on the valves, fittings and t-piece, and get another celli.

get another celli.

Nuff said!

there is always a simple solution that appears if you kick something around enough B)

A brass one was going to be a cheap solution, but if it leaches then that killed the idea.
A new celi tap is cheaper than a efin staino three way tap.
Scrap the idea.
Thanks guys.
