Description

The Blow Tie Spunding Valve is used to release excess pressure on a pressurized fermenter or from a keg while doing pressure transfers. Thanks to the large surface area of the diaphragm, this style spunding valve is much more accurate than the poppet style. 8 mm Duotight fittings at both inlet and outlet make this unit perfect for use with EVABarrier 8 mm OD tubing (D1717 or D1718).

The BlowTie 2 features an integrated pressure gauge so you can quickly and easily dial in your pressure setting. The analog gauge is removable and can be swapped out with a gauge of a different pressure range or it can be swapped out for the Digital Mini Pressure Gauge.

Specifications:
  • Made from food grade acetal
  • Stainless screws
  • Easily disassembles for cleaning
  • 8mm (5/16") Duotight fittings at both ends
  • Interchangeable pressure gauge
  • Gauge reads from 0-15 psi

WARNING: Do not exceed gauge pressure. Exceeding the pressure range will damage the gauge.

Kegland Part number: KL15042

Brandon Black on Aug 21, 2022
I'd like to use pressure to bottle but ferment around normal air lock pressure. Is there a minimum effective operating pressure for this valve? Could it operate similar to a simple airlock?
David Schindler on Apr 24, 2020
BEST ANSWER: From the manufacturer's site; "This can be used for compressed air, CO2, nitrogen, mains water supply and many other things but it's primary use is to control the residual pressure inside fermenters."

I would say yes.
What is the range for operating temperature? Can it work with steam?
Duane Jenness on May 2, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Temperature rated to 212°F (100°C), so do not use with steam. Cheers!
I ferment in kegs and daisy chain them together to capture CO2. My serving keg (keg #2) starts out full of sanitizer and then the CO2 from the fermentation keg (keg #1) pushes the sanitizer from keg #2 into a third keg. Would this spunding valve work between the 2nd and 3rd kegs? Is it ok for the liquid sanitizer to pass through it?
Stephen Hogg on Jan 2, 2022
BEST ANSWER: The plastic used for the DuoTight products does not fair well with the acidic nature of starsan solution. Soaking these products in starsan and allowing to dry eats at the plastic used, and becomes brittle. Numerous posts in beer groups on FB have stated the product fails or breaks. The amount of time the starsan solution is in contact with the spunding valve could be too long and will prematurely deteriorate the plastic.
Can this be submerged and/or soaked for cleaning/sanitizing purposes or will it damage the gauge?
Ed DelleFemine on Jan 30, 2022
BEST ANSWER: I would not soak the gauge. However, it can easily be removed with 2 screws. In addition, the entire valve can also be disassembled easily for cleaning if necessary.
How do I remove the analog gauge from my V2? I removed the two screws on the gauge side of the V2, but all that I can get off is the black bezel and the integrated clear round window. The analog gauge is held firmly in its place. I don't want to pull on anything I shouldn't!

BEST ANSWER: Remove the 2 screws and with the tip of them or with some other pointed tool that you can enter through the screw holes and using a little leverage you remove both corners at the same time. You must be firm, apply a little force but not too much so as not to break it.
What is the difference between this Spunding In-line pressure gauge/regulator (FE-962) and the In-Line Duotight regulator (D-1047) 0-60 psi, other then the pressure range?

Duotight In-Line Regulator | Built-In Pressure Gauge | 0-60 PSI | Liquid & Gas Compatible | 8 mm Duotight
BEST ANSWER: One regulates pressure into a vessel, the other regulates pressure out. They aren't interchangable. I think the diaphragm and internals are different to accomplish this.
There shoudl be a kegland video on the ordering page explaining this.

Workd great
Be careful that you do not exceed the PSI rating on the gauge. I forgot I had pressurized the keg at 20 psi previously and wondered why the gauge was pegged lol. A quick pull on the keg pressure relief valve and I was back in business.

Works as expected
Used to pressure ferment and for pressure transfers. Some experience is needed and trial adjustments to establish the desired pressure. Easy to clean.

waste of money
First, these are not intuitive, you want them all the way loose to stop the flow, and tighten them down to allow flow. Second, the gauges never worked, I ran 20 psi to them, no flow, but no registering pressure either. all in all, a waste of money. Only gave it 2 stars because it does stop the flow, I just have to use another gauge to set the pressure.

Good spunding value with 15 psi gauge. I believe the gauges can be changed out as needed.

Kegland makes some cool devices. This is one of them. These are so much more accurate than the old style spunding valves.

Good but was defective out of box: Found my own solution
I was looking forward to using the Blow Tie 2 for spunding the IPA I brewed last week. Hooked it up on day 3 of fermentation and got no reading. I checked the Duotight fittings and tubing and they seemed ok. I opened the valve completely and there was no CO2 flowing to the Star San jar. I sprayed the different connections with agitated Star San and found a leak on the "IN" side above the gauge. I wasted several lengths of tubing trying to find the issue. No luck. The next day I found a video from Kegland on how to clean the Blow Tie, so I took mine apart. I found it had a manufacturing defect on the 4 prong insert that locks the tube in place. One of the prongs was deformed and the little piece of wire that is attached to it was protruding and scratching the tubes. Simple fix: swap the OUT insert with the IN. Hooked up again and no leak and reads pressure. Holding pressure for 2 days now. I like it but it was a hassle getting it to work.
