Broken Pin Lock Pin - Will it still work

[CliffMongoloid]

Well i was tightening up the liquid out side on my pin lock keg and i snapped one of the 3 pins off the poppet.

I have 2 questions.

Will it still work? will it make a good seal on the liquid out?

And if it wont can i de pressureize it and switch them out for ball locks? i wanna convert anyway to ball lock cause im not a fan of the pin locks

Thanks

Mike

I recently had an issue with my pin lock gas post, I ended up smushing one of the pins. The I connected it to my co2 system and it was fine. I would at the very least test the seal on the damaged pin lock post before switching it out (I'm assuming nyou already have beer racked into the keg)

Yep, it can be switched for ball lock posts if you so choose to do so.

Cheers!

2 out of 3 ain't bad.
