Pin Lock to hose barb

[stoneBriar]

My google-fu has failed me. I'm looking for a male thread to hose barb that would screw into the keg side of a pin-lock post so I can put a post on my keg washer pump and use that to recirculate PBW through my draft system. Anyone have link for such a piece of hardware?

Watching.

I believe you are looking for a flare pipe adapter. There was a diy line washer writeup here that described the piece.

I looked that part up but I don't think that's what I want. I don't want to connect to the plastic QD, I want to put a hose into the bottom of the stainless beer post. Crappy picture attached. What should I google to find the brass part?

Not sure I get it. Why have 2 quick-disconnects?

Is this the part you're looking for? 3/8" Barb x 3/8" Male Flare

Since corny kegs have odd dimensions for their thread, you'll probably have a hard time finding what you want, but there's an adapter that allows you to put posts on a 1/4" npt thread.

So get that part. Put your post on that. Then put a 1/4" mpt to barb on.

But an easier solution could be to simply put PBW into a pressurized corny keg. Then attach to your draft couplers to that to run PBW through.

I took some calipers to the inside of the post and they show .509" so I don't think the 3/8" flare will work

I want the barb so I can take a hose to my carboy washer and then hook the plastic qd in my beer fridge up and pump PBW through my entire draft line.

It won't... use the adapter above.

Cool adapter; never seen that before. I'm worried that it won't work for pin lock though. Aren't pin locks 9/16" - 18 instead of 19/32"-18?

They're interchangeable. Unless you have a firestone keg. Those have a different thread size. I swap pin and ball all the time on my standard corny kegs made by cornelius company.

This helps explain it http://www.dresselbrew.com/Keg_Info.htm

The only keg(s) I had that didn't swap was my 10gallon keg (and possibly my extremely rare short fat round 5 gal since it's the same as the 10 just short. I haven't tried yet)

Cool thanks. I have two types of pin locks apparently because I can't willy nilly swap posts out between them all. Fortunately the QD works on either style. That said I'm going to try that connector. Thanks!

To save yourself some aggravation you might ask the seller to also include a pin lock Out post that fits the adapter properly. Having wrestled with the ball lock version of what you're trying to do I think I can safely say you'll be happy to pay for both if they come as a fitted set...

Cheers!
