I stuck three Kegland inline regulators in my second keezer instead of getting a three-body secondary, and now that I've used them, my conclusion is that it's better to go with a full-size secondary from a good company unless you really need very small regulators or just can't afford a big one.
As someone else here has said, adjusting these things is difficult. The gauges are tiny, and the pressure graduations start at what appears to be 6.7 psi, not zero. You get 6 graduations for each 10 pounds of pressure, which is weird. With a Taprite or C.M. Becker or any other big regulator, you can set the pressure with pretty good confidence and no microscope.
You could plumb a big pressure gauge into each regulator, but then you're adding junk and expense.
I would use these in a box where space was a very big problem. They seem to work fine. The problem is the difficulty of using them. If you have space and money, big dials are the way to go.
You may wonder why I'm not happy with these when I'm very happy with Kegland spunding valves. The spunding valves read from 0 to 15 psi, with graduations big enough to read easily with reading glasses. Also, spunding is not a precise operation. The regulators go to about 65 psi, with dials the same size. That means everything is much, much smaller.
Kegland offers these in 60 psi and 150psi models. I think 20 psi or 25 psi would be more useful. Who dispenses beer at 60 psi? You can force-carb at 30.
I looked at Kegland's small pressure gauges, which seem to be the right size to go in their regulators. It doesn't like like they will work, and buying them would push the expense of inline regulators up considerably.
