I got a kegerator, and I was thinking of homebrewing at some point and kegging the beer. My question is, Do they make quick disconnects to go between Sankey keg and homebrew corny keg? So I can still use the D coupler sometimes for store-bought beer and corny keg when needed. Are the beer lines the same size? I notice the corny keg ball locks seem like a 1/4 beer line barb while the beer line I have now is 5/16. Thanks for any help. I figured this would be the place to ask.
Sankey corny quick disconnects?

You can get these from a lot of places.

So I just got the sanke ball lock conversion kit above. I hooked everything up, and it seems I have a small leak on the gray Co2 side where the plastic ball-lock hooks to the post. It only seems to leak when the plastic head is moved from side to side. This is happening while not tapped to a keg, if that matters. Do you think something is wrong with the Co2 connection? Do you need to lube these things? Thanks, guys.
Probably a slightly out of spec oring. Replace the oring and put a light coating of keg lube on it.
Are you sure you have the gas on the gas and liquid on the liquid? The gas one has a groove machined into the fitting while the other one is smooth.
Yes I check that, I thought it might have been that at first.

I tried those same disconnects and had slow leaks I could never find and gave up on them after it drained my co2 tank the 3rd time. Now I use these https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32593...h4ZSTk1bJzv-jg1608480952333&browser_id=&is_c=
And I get the added benefit of floating dip tubes. You can also get these much faster and more expensively from williams brewing.

They're only at 10 psi.
i remember someone said they tried different QDs, not sure if that was you, but could there be a scratch in the QD?
