Made from the highest quality stainless steel to last a lifetime. For the beer side (usually marked OUT) of a ball-lock equipped keg. This fitting features a 1/4" male threaded flare fitting, to fit any 1/4" female threaded flare attachment. The black ring around the base indicates that it is a beer fitting (gas fittings are grey). 2.25" high.
These fit modern kegs only: If you have older USA made ball lock kegs, you will find this ball lock fitting does not fit as it is machined a bit tighter than the old standard. These fit KegLand, AEB, Old Ale,Torpedo, and other modern kegs, BUT DO NOT FIT OLDER CORNELIUS, SPARTANBURG, FIRESTONE, ALLOY PRODUCTS, AND OTHER OLD UNBRANDED KEGS.

Q: Do you need to use a nylon washer (like part D87) on the threaded side?
A: Yes you do need the nylon washer (D87) if you are connecting it to a metal female flair fitting. Only if you are threading a plastic female flair fitting like our item Z93 onto it is the nylon washer (item D87) not needed.

Q: What size is the internal gasket inside?
A: There is no gasket inside. The seal comes from the O-Ring on the male post.

Helped reduce/eliminate CO2 loss
This has helped CO2 leakage. The plastic ones I used before leaked a bit and getting these reduced and took care of the problem. Less trips to get CO2. Thanks
low profile
With these i can stack kegs in my converted refrigerator kegerator. These are solid, with little "give," so when it's on, it's on. Depresses the poppet like it's supposed to and beer flows. My previous plastic connectors appeared to be locked down, but beer would not flow.
Watch their video...
With a smooth click the fitting lands home. I'm hooked! At 10 minutes 2 seconds, the Keg King video is a bit long but you'll learn so much about ball lock fittings.
Well Built
Hey look around on the internet. I found these elsewhere but they were a lot more expensive. These are very well made, solid and will probably out last me. You can't beat this price for SOLID stainless steel. Basically only twice as much as plastic and they will last forever.
Perfect height
It was perfect height to add Perlick faucet to 5 gallon keg, inside a KEEZER with no collar.
