Been wondering for a long time how to get around the corny bespoke fittings, unusual threads that cant be got in plumbing shop. Im going to keep one of these on standby in case I get a leak again. Bought a new poppit some time back but it was still an unreliable seal. the post and poppit replacement is an idea but nearly the price of a corny keg... >:(
Also I find with our high usage we have cracked / damaged / worn out a good few beer out connectors that then dont seal well sometimes.
heres a pic of the very simple modification
parts piece of silicone hose
2 x jubilee clips
remove poppit
works a treat, quick and simple to remove and no need for a quick connector.
Will have a look I have plenty of taps and dies to make threads.
Can possibly tig weld 3/8th stainless pipe onto quick disconnect part and add valve or some other quick release connections that your tap connects too.
Replace original with something like this. Quick disconnect

lots of different poppet designs and the rubbers perish, i would be using keg lube and the universal poppets with new rings before I would go that far.
I replaced a load on old kegs and they are as good as new.
@ tube
mine are 699kb
u sed keep image size down to 1mb or less..its a good bit less @ 0.69mb. Its the smallest size my camera will take
@CH as im just refurbishing kegs do you have a link to best place to get those poppets please ?
is tere no poppets with replaceable seals? the poppits last forever but with them embedded seals its a rip off 5 quid sterling + shipping for a feckin rubber seal... anyone know where in china they are made...we can buy a bag of 1000 for about 10 dollars ::)?

I picked up a load in the states for 40% of that price, sorry HBW
I know, but they are prob buying from browland and browland are buying from china so with all them shippings and middlemen no wonder the price is 10 times what it is in china

That looks like the one we need. Also seems to have a replaceable seal.

ye it does sound a bit harsh 13.95, its probably the original as it seems to have the embedded seal
You can visit him, he is in Stradbally.
I like that all the grain is uncrushed and prices are very good. If he has my malt mill o ordered you can collect it for me also :D
An ex HBC employee on your doorstep who has been going a while Bren ;D.
That makes seven now selling and oh sorry Tescos eight and I'm only including active sellers so not our new potential in Bray or Dublin Homebrew.(whens that ribbon being cut Mr. T?)
The seal numbers are
Lid # 417
Dip Tube #109
Post seal #111
the bottom2 are available at ~$2.00 for 100 seals in the states ! might be worth a group buy for a couple of bags of them?

mcMaster site referenced is brilliant but they won't ship here ( I tried ordering from them before). You can order and deliver to a Us address.

Thats what I was thinking, the bags are small, so it shouldn't cost much to get someone to post them on from the US
not sure those rings are food grade either :(
