Just finished tap tower assy.install noticed hose ends are standard keg style connections.My question is do i cut those off and buy corny discconects and clamp them to the line or buy an adaptor?

It would be cheaper to cut them off and hose clamp on the ball lock connections instead.
What length is the hose and can you upload a pic or two?

I'm finishing mine up as well...cut and replace with 1/4" barbed swivel nuts for threaded keg connects.

That's what I did. I like the to be able to remove the connectors easily.

why not cut that off and go straight to a corny dissconnect?

I just cut them off. Worked pretty well. Cheap too.

Are you talking about using a barbed disconnect? I like the threaded discount, that way you can remove it without cutting the line. You can swap a pinlock or sanke disconnect, or even add more line to the existing line.

No, no, no...use a barbed swivel nut with threaded keg connects...for the same reason Shay states...the connects can be removed and cleaned easily/or replaced if something fails, etc. (See post #3)!!!

...now your keggin and can easily remove the connects from the lines...

Plus if you ever use a normal sanke tap, you can remove your ball locks and thread onto a sanke adaptor without having to cut lines all the time!!!!
