Description

This fitting is a BrewHardware.com exclusive. One side is a standard 5/8" tube compression fitting and the other has 19/32 threads which will accept either a liquid or gas ball lock keg post.
Note that we show a gas ball lock post threaded on to the fitting in the picture but it is NOT INCLUDED.
If you need the post, please add it to the order separately. Both the liquid and gas posts can be found in the accessory list on the right of this page.

The fitting includes an oring that seals to the post (again, the post, nor the black or grey QD is not included)

We also stock this fitting in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2" tube compression sizes.

What will you do with this fitting? The main usage would be to put a ball lock post on the end of a racking cane for example but who knows what you might come up with.

OPTIONS:

Besides the tube size option, we also offer a choice between stainless and nylon compression rings/sleeves.

Stainless Ferrule: This is a set of rings/sleeves/ferrules that slip over the tubing, but behind the compression nut that get squeezed onto the tubing when you lock the nut down TIGHT for the first time. This process permanently crimps the rings to the tubing though you can still remove the compression nut and tubing (though the nut is now captured). This option is more difficult to use and requires a lot of torque to set, however it is the better mechanical option where a lot of stress is put on the connection.

Nylon (AKA Delrin) Sleeve RECOMMENDED!!!!: This option replaces the pair of stainless rings with a one-piece wedge ferrule made of a tough, high temp, food grade plastic. It seals well with minimal tightening on the nut (hand tight plus a quarter turn), never attaches itself to the tubing permanently. Although it is plastic, it does allow for many disconnection cycles without wearing out. The only down side is that it doesn't offer the same mechanical strength as the SS version in cases where a LOT of stress is put on the connection.
