Sanke to Ball Lock

[hootowl]

The local restaurant would like to try my beer. They have sanke and I have ball lock. Does anyone make a coupler that mimicks a sanke keg they can connect to that has the ports for attaching lines and ball lock connectors?

Simply get ball lock fittings to connect directly to their sanke. Available from most HB supply stores. This particular keg coupler is a perlick low profile but the ball lock fittings fit all couplers.

Here is the same ball lock fittings on a standard sanke coupler

The OP undoubtedly has the ball lock kegs, while the establishment is set up for Sanke.
All he needs is a pair of the small adapters that allow attaching ball lock connectors to the establishments Sanke tubing swivel nuts.

So noted @day_trippri I sent the opposite.

If you're in the US, don't forget that while giving away homebrew is generally OK (depending on state law), selling it is against federal (and likely state) law.

Not only is it illegal for you to sell it, also if you give it to the them it is still illegal for them to sell it.

If the restaurant is hooked up for sanke, they need the adapters and ball lock quick connects that @day_trippr posted. The adapters that @Murph4231 posted will allow your home ball lock lines to hook to a sanke keg.

I know about that setup because I have it for when I get commercial beer. I don't want them to be having to take things apart just for my keg and then putting it back for another keg. Was looking for something that they could simply mount their sanke coupler into with two ball lock hoses already attached. The place only has one keg on tap at any given time. As far as the legality... nobody is opening fridges to check kegs here.

I don't think there's any way around having to remove the lines from the sanke coupler and and connecting to the adapter that @day_trippr posted. It's a very light lift and doesn't require that they modify anything.

@hootowl well, it's possible looking at this. if you can find just the lid?

That "Corny-style lid" is considerably larger than an actual "Corny keg lid"....

Cheers!

You need the things day_tripper posted. There’s a video on that link that shows you how to do it. You just have to unscrew and reattach 2 beer nuts. You need 2 of them for $5.99 each, not going to beat that for ease or price. They make a point to tell you to pay attention to the little gasket that is inside the ball lock fitting.

Unfortunately he couldn't lock the lid down and ended up welding it.
