Works great and allows me to have commercial kegs along with my home brew kegs. Only issue is this is a Komos branded product and it does not fit in a Komos Kegerator. You will also need to purchase this Low Profile Elbow. https://www.morebeer.mom/products/profile-elbow-bend-keg-couplers.html I think there are also low profile ball lock fittings but having the elbow allows you to connect and disconnect the fittings while the keg is in the kegerator.

Very well built, easy to clean and use. Love the ball lock connections it comes with. REMEMBER that if you're using a kegerator, you'll probably need the Low Profile connector for the beer/top ball lock (if using corny or 1/6 kegs it'll be too tall to fit. MoreBeer's part is D1415. Worth it and thank you to the other reviewer for the heads up!). Would highly recommend.

Was exactly what we needed and works Great!

Worked great. Hand tightened on the ball-lock fittings is more that adequate and makes cleanup very simple.

Here are INSTRUCTIONS - works perfectly, for assembly since it comes with NONE (otherwise 5 stars) - 1) for people new to Sankey- gas on the side, fluid flows vertically up through the top. 2) it comes with a "duck bill" co2 back flow stop, insert the narrow end into the horizontal inlet, then screw the gas ball lock on. 3) the fluid outlet has a back flow plastic ball and cage, place the ball in the vertical hole, the slide the cage sleeve (cage opening UP) in and over the ball. this allows the ball to fall down and seal, but when fluid flows up and out it pushes the ball up to the cage which is slightly larger and allows fluid flow around and up/out. Pro tip recommendations- Do not over tighten, it will smash the neoprene washers out of place and cause leaks Double check you have the correct gas and fluid ball locks with your couplers before screwing them tight When in doubt, Google a diagram SUPER PRO TIP!!!!! BUY THE 90 DEGREE ANGLE FITTING MENTIONED IN THE OTHER REVIEW! I have a full size fridge converted to kegorator and THOUGHT because it was taller that I would have enough top space. Nope. Now I'm paying $10 shipping for a $7 fitting to get this thing

No instructions were included, so you're on your own. There are some nuances to getting it fitted correctly. Make sure you put the correct "liners" (for lack of a better term) in the QD fittings. They are like silicon sleeves that fit into the gas and liquid fittings. Used a little common sense to get the correct installation but would be nice to have instructions. Also, the fittings leaked when first installed. After removing them, I discovered that the rubber gaskets were wadded up when tightened. I re-installed and had the same issue, so wrapped each fitting with teflon tape to ensure a good seal. No leaks in either gas or liquid fittings after that. As others have stated, you will need the 90 degree connector when using a torpedo keg in the KOMOS kegerator due to height restriction. Also need to put teflon tape on that connection for a good seal. I had a 16 gal keg connected for over 2 weeks and still had 1/2 full 5 lb CO2 tank when I disconnected. Interested to hear if others have leak issues and how they were resolved...

I decided to remove the black washer/o-ring on the gas QD. I did this because the rubber check valve insert was butting up against the back washer. I didn't see the need for it since the check valve is acting as a gasket between the QD and the tap already. Anyone else feel the same?
Yes, and in fact, if you leave the black gasket in the ball lock fitting, it will smash the duckbill OD into the stainless hole. May still work, but obviously not how it should be done.
I actually wonder the same thing. I was debating on removing the black washer because of the duckbill backflow acts as a gasket. No answer to this???

Can someone explain or diagram exactly how the check valves are supposed to be installed? The other reviews were not detailed enough. This should definitely come with instructions.
Google may not help as these check valves are different than those found in most couplers. What I found from another vendor showed the plastic cone installed with the concave surface of the ball "catch" facing up and aligned with the direction of beer flow. What seems odd about this is that the ball will move up into this concave area and cause a partial blockage of the beer flow. It would make more sense if the cone were inserted with the concave end down and against the direction of beer flow.
Google sanke coupler check valve diagram and you will find pictures showing where the check values go. Morebeer does not allow links. Sorry
