Corny Keg Poppets??

[IwanaBrich]

I just picked up two ball lock Corny kegs that both held pressure for $35 each. Both were very dirty but each only had a few small dents. That seemed like a decent price. Well I'm finding out that one was in worse shape than I had hoped.....oh well.

The first thing I noticed that one had a plastic dome style pressure relief valve and upon real close inspection found that it has a crack in the nut, so I'm replacing it with a KP115 Valve Assembly Replacement from the kegoutlet.com. Seem okay?

After taking apart the keg posts I noticed that one of the poppets is also broken. So I'd like to replace them both on that keg, but I'm confused about which to buy. The keg is pretty scratched up and is hard to read, but I can see stamped in it that it was made by the Cornelious Co, in the USA. Also says the words "New Chanmpion" on it with "A64" and the number "253419" stamped on it. The posts appear to like ones in the picture below and I "think" they say that they are Firestone kegs????

Does anyone know which poppets to buy? Its funny that such a cheap part has me stumped! Lastly the poppet is definitely broken and I'm surprised it held any pressure.

As always, your help is appreciated.

Check out this ChiCompany page for poppets. Each of the poppets on this page links to a subordinate page that provides some info on which poppet fits which keg.

Kegconnection has their page of poppets as well that might help you find which poppets you want...

Cheers!

On that link, bottom right, there is a universal poppet. That's what I use for ALL my replacements. I like it a lot more than the others for a couple reasons. They are better and they don't risk breaking the three small "legs" on the typical poppets.

I was still confused so I called Ben over at kegconnection.com. He was a big help. He had me send him a couple pictures of the poppets and posts. He thought the posts looked like Firestone posts, but the poppets were definitely Cornelius poopets. He thought that I must have some odd configuration.

They were so cheap that I replaced all four poppets on both kegs. Now the only old part remaining is the pressure relief on the one keg. I thought about replacing it too, since I'm replacing everything else, but I can't find a replacement. Mine is "D" on the right in the pic below. It looks like its all metal and it doesn't leak, so I guess I'll leave it for now... Thoughts?? Just in case has anyone found a replacement valve?

Thanks for your help.

I would, also, like to find a source for the PRV, I have 2 of the same style and 2 of the 'A' style (those I can get), but, like you, am having trouble locating the short flip valve. Please keep us posted if you find a source for them! :rockin:
