How does your beverage line come out of the Sanke? I set my Sanke up with flare fittings so I could switch those lines over to corny kegs if I needed to. So, my hose ends in a female flare fitting and that allows it to connect to a standard black corny ball lock disconnect for cleaning. If your line is connected to the Sanke with a male barb fitting on the Sanke, you won't be able to do that.

Yeah, the liquid-out post came with one installed. So all I had to do was tape up the brass union fitting, and screw it right on. Pump it up, connect to faucet line, and open the faucet.

Ok that is the catch. You need to find a 3/8 compression fitting. The side the tubing usually slides into is the side you want. Take the nipple and nut off and the post will screw onto it. It is a weird size. I don't actually think it is the right size either, but with a healthy amount of thread tape and a wrench it works great and seals tight.

I used a 3/8 female to 3/8 tubing compression adapter. I took my post in with me and spent like 30 minutes trying every combination I could until I found something that worked. Then just get a hose barb that matches the other side of the adapter and you should be set. Mine is a bit different only because I had those other parts laying around.

The gray gas connector fits the carbonator cap as you mentioned. I use the flare fitting type of connectors, so it's a simple matter to switch out the black connector on the beer line with the gray gas-in connector. All of my beer lines are equipped with flare fittings on both ends. This makes everything interchangeable. It's also handy for making a jumper line for racking from one keg to another using two of the black liquid connectors. The black liquid-out connectors can be easily disassembled for a thorough soak and cleaning too.
