I got a deal on a keggle with a welded port, but it didn't come with a ball valve. I've been trying to find a stainless or brass ball valve that is 1/2" MPT x 1/2" barb with a 1/4 turn style handle. I'm coming up blank except for a brass one I've seen as part of a conversion kit and I'm not sure how easily it can be removed from the bulkhead fitting.
It seems to me that you could eliminate 2 connections (short nipple + barb fitting) if you could find a valve that has those connections. Is there a reason not to use such a valve if I can find it? Can someone point me in the right direction to find one? Are there just not enough uses for such a beast? Is sanitation of the insides part of the concern?
Thanks!
