Wtb, Gas Manifold With Non-returns Built In

[glaab]

Hi all,
I'm pretty keen to get a manifold now that I have a chest freezer. Does anyone know where I can get one with inbuilt non-return valves and 1/4in barbs? Does anyone know if these ones from brewers discount have non-returns built in? http://www.brewersdiscount.net/item83186.ctlg
Does "with check valve" mean they do? I've email them to ask but no reply, maybe thats a sign to avoid them.
IBREW in Qld have these[Shut Off ball Valve with integral check valve..$25.50
1/4 MPT x 1/4 hose barb]; http://www.ibrew.com.au/html/equipment/beerequipmentset.html
but it'll cost me $160+inc freight to make a 6way before I but the bits to braze up the manifold so
that's too pricey. I would relly prefer to have the biult in non-returns, Ross' ones don't have them unfortunately and adding 6 would be too pricey again and have more potential to leak.
Thanks for any replies.

I bought mine from http://www.brewersdiscount.net/ they have check valves (one way valves) built in, he is slow to respond but it's a good price and will ship to Aus (I asked for the slow mail and think it was $45 shipping), I added a few more things to even out the shipping cost.

Thanks for the reply mate, I think that's my best option. Cheers

Mate. This is the guy you want to deal with.

Here is his store - http://stores.shop.ebay.com.au/The-Beer-Ta...e__W0QQ_armrsZ1

Top bloke to deal with. I got my manifold, shanks, taps, Quick disconnects (well pretty much everything from him). Cheap shipping and friendly.

if you can silver solder why dont you make one, i made this one but i got the JG fittings for free but the rest of it didnt cost much, ball valves were $2 each and im just going to use an inline non return valve.
i imagine barbed fittings arent that expensive.



Cheers,

Stewart

He only seems to have two-way there

Any ideas where i can buy a 4 way 1/4" MLF manifold like this mlf manifold I've tried brauman on ebay, he only has barbs, northern brewer has them but doesn't ship to Australia. Any other ideas?

Looks good Stewart, I might have to resort to that yet but I'd rather have non returns built into each valve.

These guys have them; http://www.brewersdiscount.net/item83186.ctlg , and I've actually ordered 2 about a week ago but they haven't debited my credit card and they won't answer an email, does anyone know if they've gone out of business?

They are barbs, I'm after the MLF (threaded) kind.

sorry Stu, ibrew has those valves but not the manifold. If you find any please let me know, I'd prefer barbs but canna find any. brauman59 only has 2ways.

A slightly delayed response but I have just purchased some John Guest check valves for <AU $12 ea delivered from a non shipping supplier using Price USA who purchase stuff (that's unavailable for OS shipping) on your behalf in the US then ship it over for you at a very reasonable rate.

Why not just put in one way valve in gas line into the manifold

when you add a keg and there are kegs already carbed up beer will come out of the carbed kegs gas posts and go up the gas line towards the new keg.

I have seen the manifolds with the built in check valves on ebay too, but like most things when i want one they are not around. So I used a normal manifold and added an inline check valve into my 4 gas lines.

Definitely not the cheapest option but works really well
