G'day all, just thought I'd ask for some suggestions and/or criticism on my thought process.
What I'm trying to do is create a setup so that I don't have to pull down and reconfigure when swapping from neutral/strip/spirit runs to Gin head. Looking at larger stills, a lot of them employ valves to direct the vapour flow. My question is has anyone used these butterfly valves for this type of application.

Have a look at my first draft sketch up and tell me what your thoughts are. This design would have 2 valves open and 2 closed when running in either configuration.
I can see one issue (that shouldn't happen but is possible), is that if for some reason the valves at the tee were both closed and the possibility of pressure building, this would possibly be solved with a small low pressure release or something similar.
