These check valves disconnects are a really great idea, especially if you are wanting to lay our mini kegs on their side in the fridge for force carbonating / dispensing.
They work as a normal gas disconnect except that unlike others they have a liquid no return valve built into them.
This stops any liquid running back up the gas post and into the regulator which will ruin the internal mechanisms. We have noticed this being a potential issue especially when force carbonating kegs that are lying on their side as if the gas in your cartridge runs out there is nothing at all to stop the liquid entering the regulator.
We definitely recommend getting these if you intend on force carbonating in this manner (liquid inside the regulator is not covered under their warranty under any circumstance) but they are also an excellent safe guard no matter how you plan on using your keg.
Please be aware the operation of the valve while gas is injecting causes a noise that can be quite loud. This only occurs while gas is injecting but if you will only be using the keg upright you may prefer a standard disconnect as they are silent.
I was able to force carbonate without fear of drowning my regulator, works perfectly fine
Have many of them and they are doing their job well
Ich habe mein Himbeerweizen direkt nach der Gärung trinken wollen und habe es mit dem Gas-Ventil im Liegen aufkarbonisiert. Was soll ich sagen: Mein Gasdruckminderer funktioniert noch. Keine Flüssigkeit ist zurück geflossen. Das Rückschlagventil gibt zwar ein paar Laute von sich während Gas durchströmt, aber dafür ist es dicht! Top!!!
nun kann man den Kegger auf den Kopf stellen und die Kohlensäure "richtig" durch die Flüssigkeit leiten. Vorher war die Carbonisierung von Getränken nicht so toll. Dafür sehr zu empfehlen.
Good gear to protect the regulator from liquid if you are out of gas and the keg is accidentally lying down
