    Another thread got me thinking..

    Is there any device on the market or handmade that anyone knows that is this concept:

    Y tubing jig with one quick disconnect for gas and one for tap attachment, for the purposes of attaching to tap and being able to CO2 purge bottles and then immediately fill?

    Or does anyone keep a 3rd tap for CO2 gas only? So purge then move bottle to next tap for fill.

    Just thinking for guys who keg and like to fill bottles for competition, etc. but don't want to fill non-purged bottles and don't want all the trouble of hooking up beergun or CP filler just for 1/2-1 dozen bottles.

    If I were to fill for a comp and not use the gun I would want to have a dedicated tap to CO2. But I would rather just use the gun to bottle.

    I doubt a faucet will seal well enough to prevent gas from leaking. They are for liquid.

    It is quite easy to place an air distributor in line though. Just leave a length of tube on one of the outputs, turn it on when needed.
    Cheers.
