The shutoff valve is designed to be inserted between the gas source and the gas line. It features a 3/8" barb connector that fits snugly into the gas line and a 1/4" MPT connector that attaches to the gas source. The check valve ensures that gas flows in only one direction, preventing any backflow from entering the system. This feature is particularly useful when using a CO2 tank or other gas sources that can contain impurities or contaminants.
The shutoff valve also includes a manual shutoff valve that allows you to stop the flow of gas if necessary. This feature is especially important for safety reasons in case of an emergency or if you need to disconnect the gas line from the regulator or air distributor.
The Wine and Hop Shop shutoff valve is made from high-quality materials that are durable and resistant to rust and corrosion.

To install the shutoff valve, you simply need to insert it into the gas line and secure it using a clamp or similar mechanism. The process is quick and easy, and you can have your system up and running in no time.
