CO2 quick-disconnects

Heyo,

My little keg fridge has room for my 5Lb tank currently, but I'd like that shelf for other cold storage so I'm going to be drilling and insulating the side, so the tank can sit beside the fridge.

I'd like to be able to pop off the line (since it'll be permanently fixed to the fridge with my current setup) and attach a different line so I can still use my tank to transfer beers between kegs, push cleaner through my tubes, etc.


Anyone have experience with this? I know I can piece something together but it will likely not be the cheapest or most simple solution.
All suggestions and alternate solutions are very welcome :cheers2:

Quickest and easiest would be to rig the tank end up like the jacpac....with a female quick coupler like in the below link....same as air compressors...and have your lines with the male ends.

However...not sure how these would hold up to the higher pressure of CO2, if they'd leak over time....even small amounts will drain your tank quickly.

If i was to do it.......i'd attach a ' Y " with shut offs.....that way there's no removing your serving line and disrupting your pressures. OBK has one already set up.
