Any flush or tap or heating still affects the flow.

I like these.

They are are smaller than hoze lock, but would still need a 15mm hose tail.

They're similar to what you see on a host of plumbing jobs around stills. I forget the name for the real jobbies - it's a male person's christian and surname, may jog someone's memory...

Otherwise, I find the braided S/S water couplers most useful, particularly if you take the time to separate the end fittings. (Braid is then handy as bazooka on the mash tun.....)

I have the T500 needle valve running off my outdoor brass tap into the T500 column feed and I’d like to be able to disconnect that tube after the needle valve and then connect a bigger bore tube onto that for my pot head

Not sure that has mad sense and I haven’t even had a drink yet !

Its really being used to keep a constant pressure and therefore flow to the condenser against fluctuations caused by other taps, loo flushing or even in the water supply

The T500 temp varies dramatically on the tiniest changes of water flow and this truly cures it 99%

I haven't split the water feed on the T500 but when I split the water supply on the ss reflux with a y connector and a tap in one of the feeds what happened was that when you increased the water supply to the column it obviously reduced the water supply to the condenser so you had to increase the water through the main tap and then reduce the water on the column etc etc

I ended up with a y connector to split the water, a tap in the column feed and a tap on the 'output' side of both the column and the condenser to ensure sufficient back pressure.

Mind you I ended up computer controlling the whole lot of it!

If I split the water supply on the T500 I'm going to use two independent water sources just to make it easier.
