Duotight In-Line Regulator | Built-In Pressure Gauge | 0-60 PSI | Liquid & Gas Compatible | 8 mm Duotight
Description
Easily set and view different pressures downstream from a single CO2 regulator. Serve different beverages at different pressures without the need for expensive regulator manifolds!
Built-in pressure gauge for easy reference when adjusting pressure settings
Pressure gauge is interchangeable—swap to different pressure ranges that better suit your application
The Duotight In-Line Regulator is an ideal solution if you want to serve different beers at different gas pressures. In a typical multiple line, multiple pressure system you would run a gas line from your main regulator into a secondary regulator where you would set different pressures. While that is ideal, it is a little pricey. This little sweetheart lets you set different pressures at a far lower cost. What we do is set the main regulator at the highest pressure we want in the system - for example a keg of soda that you want to carbonate and serve at 25 psi. Run the gas line into a manifold and then install one of these after the manifold on each line where you want to decrease the pressure, for example lowering to 10psi to serve your British pale ale and 14 psi to serve your summertime lawnmower lager.
Works with both gas and liquid. Easily adjust the flow can be adjusted with the yellow adjustment knob. 8 mm Duotight fittings at both inlet and outlet make this unit perfect for use with EVABarrier 8 mm OD tubing (D1717 or D1718). Features an integrated pressure gauge so you can quickly and easily dial in your pressure setting. The analog gauge is removable and can be swapped out with a gauge of a different pressure range or it can be swapped out for the Digital Mini Pressure Gauge.

BEST ANSWER:These are made to work with 8mm EVAbarrier tubing which is a more rigid type of tubing than most beer line hoses and it has a much smaller OD than your 9/16 hose. There are DuoTight fittings that will work with (or adapt to) 1/4-inch OD tubing (0.635mm) and 3/8-inch OD tubing (9.5mm) though.

Can I use this on the liquid out side of a carbonated water keg? I would like to maintain 30psi in the keg, but dispense at a lower pressure. Wondering if I can use this between the keg and faucet to achieve this?
BEST ANSWER:Although Kegland states that the regulator and gauge will tolerate liquids, I’m not sure what you’re proposing is the intended use. A simpler solution might be to use a longer dispensing line to make pouring easier. Using a Duotight regulator without a gauge is another option, but all you’re doing is restricting the flow-which is easily achieved with a longer line.

You absolutely should *not* pass liquid through this, For your use case you would want to set this regulator to 30PSI off your primary regulator to your water keg, then use longer lines to balance the higher serving pressure. I carbonate and serve my water at 40PSI with these using 20ft of liquid line with good results
I thought about adding more line. I'm getting mixed answers regarding running liquid through this. It does say for gas and liquid in the item description.
Although it says it can be used with liquid, I still would not be comfortable using it that way. I guess all the pieces are plastic, so you might not run into issues with the regulator malfunctioning. That said, if you want to add restriction to the beverage side of your draft setup, either add more line or look into flow control faucets (I believe duotight actually makes a flow control QD for this purpose now).
What is the difference between this Spunding In-line pressure gauge/regulator (FE-962) and the In-Line Duotight regulator (D-1047) 0-60 psi, other then the pressure range?
BEST ANSWER:One regulates pressure into a vessel, the other regulates pressure out. They aren't interchangable. I think the diaphragm and internals are different to accomplish this. There shoudl be a kegland video on the ordering page explaining this.

BEST ANSWER:I think so, with it turned all the way down, but IMO it would be best with a valve before it and a check to eliminate back flow. Check @tapthisbrewing on instagram - july 2020 for photos of this.

I appreciate that these exist, because it made it affordable for me to keep several different beers at different pressures.
However, it can be difficult to really dial in a pressure because the gauge is too small. If the gauge only went up to 40, 30, or heck even 20 psi, it would be so much easier to use! (I would prefer 30-40 though, because I quick carb)
I don't like providing bad reviews, but I'm guessing the unit I received was defective(?) I can screw the knob in full tight, or have it entirely removed, and it doesn't meter the pressure in any way. Basically just acting as a passthrough. Per other reviews, I've let it 'sit' for up to 24 hours to let it 'settle', but it makes no difference. #shrug
I purchased four of these to regulate pressure to four kegs in my keezer. After about 2 weeks of use it is clear setting the desired pressure is far more difficult than it should be. Once pressure is set, it takes HOURS for the gauge reading to settle to a final static value. Adjusting the dial to a given value on the gauge is NOT what the gauge will read HOURS later. So the user will need to go back multiple time (about 3 in my experience) to tweak the pressure to get closer and closer to the desired value. This is very inconvenient for me since I have a coffin box on my keezer requiring me to pull it away from the wall every time it is open. These gauges require me to open my keezer over and over again to check on them. Yes, these do work, but I'm now thinking that it would have easier to get higher quality gauges that I could "set and forget" and have confidence in they are reading. I don't want to have to baby sit these gauges. I'll keep these for now, but will more then likely replace after some time.
It's a regulator and pressure gauge. It'd be nice if they were sold with all of the different gauge ranges so I don't have to buy a 0-15 gauge in addition to the regulator / gauge combo.
I love this regulator, way smaller and cheaper than other secondary regulators, I just wished that they send this with a 30 psi gauge instead of the 60 psi one, way too small to read properly.
I just purchased three of these duotights along with the digital gauges. After swapping the gauges and checking for leaks I found none which is great. However, these regulators do not seem to properly regulate pressure for me. I have the first one installed at the moment. My primary regulator is set to 30 psi. If I set the duotight to 12 psi, for example, it will initially appear to be stable at this setting, but if I check on it a while later (hours), the value will have creeped up much higher, closer to primary. Is this happening for others? While I like the compact size and convenience of duotight connections, I’m beginning to think money would have been better spent on full-size taprite or micromattic secondaries. My primary regulator is a micromatic and it has been rock solid for years.
Pure trash. The CO2 level output by these is easily twice or more what the gauge reads. They will unknowingly overcarb your beer and prevent you from bottling your beer just before a competition deadline. Be forewarned.
When they say miniature, they aren't kidding. The gauges are about 1"x1" and these old eyes struggle to read the markings. I think I'll be forced into ordering the 0-15 psi gauges or the newer digital. I have no idea how accurate they are or if there is any float due to these old eyes.
Mine registers about 10 psi less than the primary pressure when fully open. I also wish it worked with standard sized tubing. All in all, it’s serving it’s purpose for the 2 vastly different serving pressures I have on tap.
Worked great for a few months then all of a sudden reverted to being an on-of switch. So, I could have full seltzer pressure (30 psi) or nothing. I finally figured that out and swapped to a real dual regulator.

So far so good. First go with the duo-tight product. go so far.
I bought two of these. Finally got around to using them, and they don't adjust pressure whatsoever. They're either fully open, or fully closed, and the pressure gauge never moves. I ran various loads (10lbs, 15lbs, 20lbs and 30lbs) and never got the gauge to move. Disappointed as I usually really like duotight stuff.
This little device will solve your needs for different pressures inside your kegerator. I'm running three different pressures; one very high one directly from the main at 60PSI for the continuous soda, one at 10PSI for my beer, diet Coke and Fanta (EU Fanta, that is, because the one sold here in the US is a disgrace) and another one at about 2-3PSI for my Chardonnay (because I don't need it carbonated)
I'm using 3 of these for gas lines to my kegs. I'm knocking the psi down from ~30 to ~12 and they're working as expected. I like that I'll be able to adjust each kegs PSI based on if I'm carbing or the beer style.
I used this to regulate house water pressure down so I could hook up a beer faucet to dispense water. After two weeks it works great. The down side is the fitting size was a hassle to hookup. I needed to buy extra adapters to get the 5/16 OD this requires. Probably a bit extra cost to manufacture but making just a threaded fitting rather than push connect would have been better for me.
It will knock down the pressure as advertised, but the dial is so small that it's really hard if not impossible to fine tune the pressure. I used two to knock down two beer lines while the third was a seltzer. I set the main regulator to 15 psi for the seltzer, and these allowed me to bring the pressure down to 10 psi for the two beers. If I were to need to put one beer at 12 psi I think I would have been in trouble, but so far so good.
