I bought these because I thought they would be a more secure/tighter fit on the gas post than plastic, thus preventing leaks. However, these are just as likely (if not more likely) than plastic to lose the seal and leak CO2. I realized the key is to have good O-rings and use food grade lubricant on them.
These work great. The ones I got had the Torpedo and IN labels stamped on them.
Mine weren't labeled as the picture shows. Just went by the lines to identify the gas side disconnect.
Ordered the Torpedo Ball Locks for carbonating multiple kegs with my new gas manifold, at once in my frig. They work great.
I have a bunch of these and they all work great. Oddlly the last one I ordered for air side the pin leaked when not connectedto the CO2 tank. MoreBeer quickly replaced with a new one and no issues. Must have been a one off issue.
Bought them so they wouldn’t crack like plastic and look nicer. So far 1 has a leak the other two look beat up but work fine. It’s kind of disappointing for the cost, but it overall they’re not bad.
Order 2 of these with my kegerator. One leaks when disconnected; the other doesn't seal to the keg with integrity. Ordered a replacement and it also leaks when disconnected.
They work great!! 17 18 19 20
Needed these in a pinch and received them quickly. Much more durable than my old plastic ones and should last a long time
Excellent alternative to the plastic disconnects. More durable and forms a better seal.
Nice kit. Good quality that’ll stand up to being banged around in my tailgate gear.
I used these Torpedo Ball Lock Gas In connectors in a new aging & staging Kezzer I built. The new Kezzer has the capability of storing 8 kegs. As many of you will notice, most of the components came from More Beer. I had my concerns about Co2 leakage with a manifold that long, with that many connections. But, so far so good.
Delivered as expected with no problems
Heavy and tight. The plastic ones always made me feel like I was going to tweak it or break it while cleaning and putting back together. These solve that issue. They also make a very satisfying click when they lock into place
Why would we use a Flare over Barb connection to lines on Ball lock disconnect?
Flare connections are easy to take apart but are more likely to develop leaks. Barb connections when properly clamped will not leak but are harder to take apart. Sometimes you have to cut the hose to get it off. To me it's a personal preference but I use barb connections on my permanent keg system (beer fridge) and flare connections on my portable ones (jockey box Randall etc.).
In the case of low volume not entirely necessary however if there is Nitro in the line up and or using to force carbonate extra grab on the hose is safer for the higher pressure
