Does this work? Isn't the IN port at the top of the keg, and the OUT port is at the very bottom of the keg? That would mean the second keg is not filling with starsan and instead it is only filling the very bottom up to the OUT port. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. In other words, the second keg doesn't get sanitized or purged. The fix would be to reverse the hookups for the second keg so that it fills with starsan from the bottom.

Both in and out are on the top. In this case the white quick connect is "in" and the black one is "out". The out port has a dip tube that reaches the bottom of the keg in the inside. The CO2 gets in and increasing the pressure and pushes the liquid through the dip tube out.

Hey! Thanks for the video. I am trying to do exactly the same thing - i.e., install PRV on a brewbucket (3.5G). I drilled a 7/32 hole, but the O-rings are not engaging. The PRV has a straight stem which is about 7/32, but there is a small conical part near the head which expands from 7/32 to 3/8" between the stem and the base of the head. Is this because the brewbucket lid gauge is thinner and the O-Ring is made for a thicker chronical? Would you suggest a thicker O-ring to fully seal when used with Brewbucket? Thanks.

Hey Sharath. If you find the cone of the PRV thread is causing it to not sit flat I would make the hole slightly larger until it does. Just take it slow
