Cleaning a 4 Faucet System
I just bought, after a significant amount of spousal whining and begging, a True Mfg. 2-keg direct draw refrigerator. I ordered two 2-faucet towers for a total of 4 faucets. [8D] I am a homebrewer and plan to use three of the faucets for 5 gallon ball-lock soda kegs and the 4th faucet for commercial microbrews with Sankey fittings.
My questions...
I am looking for a pressurized cleaning system (rather than the hand-pump bottle set-ups) that is adapable for cleaning the two types of systems (soda and Sankey). [?]Is this something that can be done with readily available parts from Micro Matic or will it take some backyard engineering to accomplish?
[?]Secondly, could I just as easily use my smaller 3 gallon corny keg as a pressurized container for the cleaner? I should be able to make this work for the soda kegs but not real certain what the hook-up would be for a Sankey.
I would appreciate any thoughts that any of you may have on this subject.
Thank you!

If your keg has a removable top and you are using soda fittings, use it for mixing your cleaning solution and for the rinse water. This method will clean the keg as well.
As for the sankey, use this vessel for cleaning.

Thanks to topgun and Scott for your answers. I was hoping that I could adapt one tank (either a soda keg or the one that Scott links to) for the whole setup rather than having to use two different ones. I'm certain there is a way to backyard engineer a set-up but without the parts in hand it is kind of hard to visualize how this would be done. Thanks again.
