There Are a few similar ones on amazon for $30-36. Reviews for the $36 ones are ok but there are plenty stating they leak.

Any opinions on these? Really want to be able to seamlessly go from ball lock to sanke commercial kegs in my bev air bm-23 once I start kegging.

Yes, I bought a set from them. I love them. If you have to buy the regular conversion/flare fittings new it's not that much more for these and they are definitely more convenient.

I have 2 sets. My original 2 sets came from Amazon. One of the sets ended up being two gas posts instead of a gas and liquid post. The other set was correct. So I ended up getting another set from my LHBS which was a few dollars more, but had the correct posts.

As for leaks, I have teflon tape around the threads and have yet to have a leak. It is very convenient to be able to keg in both style of kegs, since I have about 50/50 sanke/corney kegs.

Here are the two places I got my kits. Again, with the Amazon order, one kit was correct, while the other consisted of 2 gas posts.



If in doubt about the amazon store, https://www.kegworks.com/sankey-to-ball-lock-disconnect-conversion-kit has a kit as well .

If you're not in a rush, you can find them pretty cheap on aliexpress. Here are the ones I bought. They took about 3 weeks to arrive. I haven't used them yet, but they feel like good quality parts and they fit well.

Has anyone else who uses these noticed that they are experiencing more foamy pours than usual on commercial sanke kegs ? I've had four commercial kegs on tap prior to installing these conversion posts and based on temp and vols of co2, I've never had more than very slight first pour foam. I've been wrestling with my current commercial keg for almost a week now and unless I set the psi way too low (9 or so) I get consistent foam. Ugh

Are your lines to length? If so, are they dipping down then back up to the tap? I know my beers poured foamey when I let the lines just hang. So I coiled/taped them and issue was resolved.
