Default Secondary Gauges Modular?

I currently have a system set up with a Primary Dual Gauge economy series regulator and two Secondary Economy Series regulators. They all work fine, even after a ham-handed friend of mine dropped the primary regulator.

I am considering adding a third line, and the easier method would be to just add a third secondary regulator. But I can't find anything on the micro-matic site about the economy series secondary regulators being modular, or being able to add to the assembly without welding/cutting anything. If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Look this over: http://www.micromatic.com/draft-keg-...s-cid-616.html

You'll see that you can pretty much mix and match the regulators if you want. There should be no cutting, welding or indepth fabrication needed to do what you are wanting to do.

And FWIW, there is not a huge difference in price in the economy, classic or premium regulators. I'd go for the premium regulators.

Thanks for the reply. I already have the economy series, and for asethetic reasons I would like to stick to economy. I did look a little further into how I can add a third line, and it seems possible. When I bought my system, I got a dual secondary regulator assembly (#8022). But when I took a look at the single secondary regulator and, specificaly, the replacement parts, I couldn't find anything about the small brass piece that connects the regulators when put into an assembly.

I can't find that part on the site, and I was wondering if anyone knew where to get it, or how to connect a third regulator?

Local hardware store will have a short piece of pipe with 1/4" NPT on each end. Use pipe thread and place between regulators.
