Source for a *static* Pressure Relief Valve for a pin lock 5gal?

[circitmage]

upon pressurizing, I discovered my PRV is leaking ... after disassembling, found that the small plastic tabs holding down the PRV are cracked - not likely repairable ... this is a static PRV on a pin lock Coke keg ... can't seem to find replacements at the usual sites ... does anyone have a source? or repair ideas?

Looks like time to buy a new lid.

You could get a new lid or possibly drill it out and add a bolt on style like this: Amazon.com: Pressure Relief Valve Replacement for Keg Lids - Compatible with Ball Lock or Pin Lock Kegs: Industrial & Scientific

BUT I haven't found a version that's all stainless steel-if that matters to you.

cheaper than just a pressure relief

remember when buying a new lid, ball lock, and pin lock are the same? and it's WAY easier to get new PRVs for ball lock lids....

The replacement valves are nearly impossible to find lately and if you do, they are pretty pricey. I’ve been spending the extra money and replacing them with new lids that have the manual PRVs.
Here is a site that still offers them if you’re dead set on having one. All the other vendors I’ve used before list them out of stock.

Do ball lock lids fit pin lock kegs? I know the lid gaskets are interchangable but I've never tried to swap lids around.
