Pin lock kegs...........

[Stealthcruiser]

I recently came onto 5 freebies, some completely full of syrup!

My question, afore I dive into cleaning them: O-rings, any of them common to ball lock corney O-rings, ( of which I have numerous spares), or are they a bunch of different part #'s?

If different, anyone have a P/N list specific to pin lock kegs?

Many thanks!...................................

A lot of it depends on the manufacturer. For the most part, I've been able to swap O-rings. There are kits to convert them to ball locks as well. That's what I did.

I use #10 o-rings on the posts, the ball-lock rings are a little thinner and can lead to leaks

Thanks for the input, Gang.

I was kind of hoping there might be a list with someone, for all the O-rings, like I've found on the board for ball - lock kegs.

Not sure I want to convert them, but may go the "cheap" route, and just make up some hoses specific to them.

This thread has the part numbers: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=233086

If you look to the third and fourth pages you will find a discussion of what has been working for pin lock kegs. Note that the only size difference for pin locks is on top of the post. The lid and dip tube o-rings are the same.

Thank you very much!




Edit: Some O-ring Expert banter going on @ that post!

Good info found, and thanks again!
