Corny Keg Post Size?

[Phunhog]

Hey Guys,
I am getting ready disassemble my kegs for cleaning. I don't have the right size deep sockets. Can somebody help a brother out and tell me what size socket(s) to buy? Thanks. Al

They are either 11/16 or 7/8. You will have either size or a mixture of both. Some posts require a 12 point socket so I would suggest buying this as it will work for a 6 point fitting. Also, make sure it's a deep socket.

In summary
12 point 11/16 deep socket
or
12 point 7/8 deep socket

Also, I would suggest only taking apart one keg at a time. Mix up the fittings and/or poppets and it's a PITA to get them back together correctly. Just a suggestion.
