Pretty new to kegging. Purchased a ball lock keg. Also have a Sankey D for domestics. Have a kegerator that had a single draft line with a hex nut to connect to my Sankey. What do I use to quickly change the setup to allow for my ball lock barb instead of the hex nut set up? Appreciate the help.

I used this, and put ball lock posts on my sankey tap.
Ball Lock to Sankey Tap Conversion Kit-1 Ball Lock to Sankey Tap Conversion Kit-1 [SankeyTap-BL Conversion Kit-1] - $37.50 : The CHI Company, New and used beverage equipment for Homebrewing, Home winemaking, Soda systems and used Pepsi vending equipm
To make it easier to put in a sanke keg. All you would do is clip on your ball lock disconnects to the tap like you do a corny. I am just changing out the tail pieces to mine so I just have to unthread the ball locks from my lines and thread onto the sanke tap. It's a little cheaper.
Sorry having trouble picturing your workaround. Can text me a picture or email? 808-778-8474 or [email protected] . Life saver!

Here is a link to what I'm talking about. Check out the pictures. Basically you have 2 disconnects with 1/4" mfl threads instead of just the flared nipple. Included are nipples that are threaded that you attach to your lines. To hook up the sanke or corny you thread your lines onto the tap. The kit includes the replacement tail pieces for the tap. I will be doing this eventually definately worth it to make the switch pain free and relatively inexpensive.
