Spanner for keg posts

[Bubbles]

Anyone know what size spanner fits the posts on a corny keg?

Ta.

Think it's 22mm, will check after my breakfast I have some if you need to borrow them.

Cheers lad. And thanks for the offer, but not urgent.

Mines 22mm..

Checked my kegs some have 22mm and some 21mm. Best to the typical male thing and buy a 11mm - 22mm set, or better still buy two

So did I some of my kegs even have two different sizes on them. Try get spanners with straight & rounded edges on either end.

They had feck all selection in woodies in sandyford after all. Nothing near 22mm.

Do you mean the open and closed ends? Pic?

I got a ring spanner set in aldi. Largest spanner was 22. I,m pretty sure an open end spanner won't open mine. They are hard to get at..

Sorry poor choice of words ring spanner would be a better description. Will tweet you a photo soon.

Yeah I picked two different sets in Aldi as well. Lidl have them every now & again.

Just get a small adjustable spanner maybe? It's what I used in mine and they slipped right off.

I've been able to remove most of mine for cleaning. But some were put on so tight I haven't been able to shift them. I gave up on them as I was damaging the edges from slipping. It's hard to get a really positive grip with the handles etc. If I get my hands on an extended socket similar to sparkplug socket I might give it a go again.

I got a socket for mine in halfords. Had trouble with a couple of kegs on last group buy. One post was on so tight I nearly gave myself a hernia removing it. Turned out the threads on the post were f*cked. Haven't been able to use or repair it. So be warned. If they're on that tight it might be best to leave them alone.

If you can't get 22mm, have a look for 7/8". I find the imperial one fits a bit better.
