T-joint or two-way distributor?

Quick question, guys:

Just putting together an Everwood order, getting all I need for the move into all-grain and a few odds and ends to finish setting up a two-keg kegerator. Would I be better off using a t-joint (https://www.everwoodavebrewshop.com/pro ... steel-tee/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) or two-way distributor (https://www.everwoodavebrewshop.com/pro ... ed-2-ways/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) to split my gas line? What do you use?

Thanks! :)

Spend the money and get the 2 way distributor. I made my own from Parts at princess auto

+1 to shut offs and check valves. I've had beer in my gas likes too many times.

I just got some of those manifolds, I like them but the assembly quality is shit. The tape job is rediculous and there's loads of metal burs inside. Yum? I tooke mine all apart, brushed them out, and redid the thread tape.

Thanks for the input. I'll go with the distributor, then. Done and done.

Good to know. I'll plan on doing the same when it arrives.

PS: Sorry, everyone, that this ended up in General Homebrew instead of DIY. Got my wires crossed and ended up in the wrong place.
