Post by: Beerbuddha on January 30, 2017, 09:33:10 PM
Hi.

Im thinking about buying some of these as they will last longer i'm guessing.They can be boiled also unlike plastic cousins i believe. Has anyone bought any ?

I've never seen that style of stainless ball lock, most I've seen are this style http://kegking.com.au/keg-couplers-and-keg-disconnects/keg-disconnects-home-brew/stainless-ball-lock-disconnect-mfl-black-liquid.html . But getting them from the UK you won't be caught by customs.

I'm ordering other stuff I might get some anyways. The pressure relief valves tend to crack in normal type I hate loosing beer due to a keg leak.

No brainer really and some of the original ones are very expensive depending where you buy them.

Great that the seals can be replaced unlike plastic type. The metal insert won't distort if boiled water used on them also again gonna change all them over to stainless

The guy from that site was sound. His name is Paul and he sorted delivery via parcel motel so cut down on delivery cost. I will need another 8 quick releases and few connects also.
