Howdy,

I have 2 kegs, both ex cocacola. but both take pin-lock connections. I want to convert to ball lock .
My problem is that there are 2 types of ball locks on the market. So do i want a post that is 9/16" or 19/32"

There are a few differences between gas and liquid posts.
I think one is the different sizes that you mention.
There is a tapered flare/hip on each post which keys them - narrow is gas, wide is liquid.
Hex toys on gas can be notched, liquid is not. (Maybe other way round!)

Just in case these are of any interest. cost £10 each may be cheaper than changing the posts
