Works great. High quality!
Used these on my pressure transfer line. Way less problems and much more durable than the cheap plastic ones.
I ordered this because when I switch to the Sankey coupler there wasn't enough clearance in my kegerator. This hose attachment on this coupler is 90 degrees, so it solves that problem nicely. I find this coupler much more difficult to attach and detach. It is sticky. Rinsing it with clean clear water helps, but still much more difficult to attach and detach than the less expensive plastic couplers.
My old plastic keg fitting bit the dust, and More Beer got as new one to me quickly. Back in business and very appreciative of MoreBeer.
Do you get annoyed with the plastic connectors? I do. You do. Everyone does. The stainless fit perfectly with no aggravation. Over time I think I will be getting a few more of these.
These work great, but they are not labeled as indicated on the website. A bit misleading. I would have preferred ones with labels. But they do the job.
Neither of my disconnects were labeled with Torpedo In/Out like in the product photos, so it makes me wonder if I could have received some other brand instead. Not a major issue as you can reference the grooves that are on the gas disconnect.
You will need to use this on a torpedo keg. The plastic ones are to tight.
Worked great!!! 15 16 17 18 19 20
This ball lock creates a great seal on my corny keg and unlike the standard plastic ball locks, I don’t have to worry about breaking it at cold temps.
Much better than the plastic. Easier to get off telhe keg. Much needed
Replaced some older plastic disconnects with these. Much easier on and off than the plastic ones, and I think will be easier to keep clean and sanitized.
These are heavy and put together well. Don't feel like I'm going to break them when I clean them and they make a satisfying click when you lock them on. Good stuff
Is there a physical/mechanical difference between "gas in" and "beverage out" ball lock fittings?
Actually there's quite a bit of difference between gas-in side and serving side diameters. I can't tell you how many times I had to pull off stuck serving side QD's from gas-in posts for new draft customers. I also pointed out the inscribed line at the base of the gas-in post so that the problem wouldn't continue to plague our customers. Be of good cheer and drink good beer for tomorrow we may not be here! Cheers!
They are one-way valves meant for only 1 direction of flow. So the inside is different between the 2.
Yes. You can put an in fitting on an in or out valve. You only put a out fitting on a out valve
Yes. I had them reversed before and it seem like it does not fully depress the poppet on one side. .
Yes there is a small difference in the dimensions. One will not work on the other.
Yes. They cannot be interchanged.
I have one of these and just learned that it is leaking. Has anyone got a fix for this or is mine a lemon?
I ordered multiple of these in both gas and liquid and they all seem to leak. I checked their size with a micrometer and they are substantially larger diameter than all the plastic ones I have. Either there was a bad lot or their tolerances aren't as tight and they can absolutely leak... at least from my experience (with 2 liquids and 4 gas's).
The product may be defective. Assuming it leaks the same way when attached to other beer out posts? When was the product purchased?
Where exactly is the leak coming from?
Leaking while attached or unattached from keg? I received one that had an irregular hole through which the center post depressor passes. I never used it but figured it wouldnt be too big of an issue as it was the beer out unit
