Keg poppets
« on: October 18, 2012, 01:59:23 PM »
Anyone have any / know where to get the little poppets that go in the keg ball lock posts?

Also, anyone have any springs that go in the ball lock connectors? How about the rubber washers?

if you're in dire need Brew, I have a few spare universal poppets. they are quite nice actually, with replaceable orings so they should last forever.  $2.99 from ontariobeerkegs.

I'd completely recommend anyone with 6+ kegs to order up 4-6 universal poppets and replace them as they start to leak...I'm even considering replacing them all for good measure.   the universals will last forever.  very rugged spring and replaceable orings...can't go wrong.

If anyone has some spare and can bring them to JQ's beerfest, I'd like to buy a few... got some kegs that leak at lower pressures.

I have a couple extra guys if if you're in immediate need, but Brew just posted that he's putting in an ontariobeerkegs order, so you might want to jump on that.

Let me know and I can bring a couple with me next saturday to JQs.
