Keg tool

[akthor]

LOL I knew there'd be a catch with my luck I would do just that and melt everything lol.

it can be soldered, just don't dry fire your keggle and you will be fine, the liquid doesn't come close to the 410 degree it takes to melt the solder.

I just did one of my two kegs last night and it was a breeze as long as you have the correct flux. look at the last few pages of the soldering thread for my posts.

worst that happens is your dry fire and have to buy a new ball valve, and re solder your coupling...

just DON'T fire it up with out liquid in it and your fine

I'm dragging out the old thread due to many asking me for pics of my build. Sorry its taken me so long to get theses re-posted. Any Q's just ask. I'll try to answer them.

Again, the gold colored material is Ampco 20.

GM,

In the last pic, is the piece on the left a cup that bottoms out on the inside of the keg when the coupling is pulled through?

Ya know, it was never intended that way when I built it. However, yes it will work that way as I have run it to that point in the past. Now I just get it going through the material and then set the coupling in its final place with a rubber mallet. Wear your hearing protection.

Looks like I have quite a bit of reading to do!

Found a great YouTube video that walks you through this whole process, really cleared things up for me.

I've read all 14 pages, so maybe I've missed it. Has anyone figured out the parts need to make a keg tool to install 1" couplings?

*EDIT*

I think I found what I was looking for here.
