Ball Lock Spear
One spear, two systems. The Keg Smiths Ball Lock Spear converts your standard mini keg into a ball-lock-equipped keg in a single drop-in swap — gas in / liquid out posts integrated, ready to plug into any kegerator, ball-lock dispense system, or party tap with a flare quick disconnect.
Why the Ball Lock Spear
- Single-piece conversion: Replaces the standard Keg Smiths spear with one that has integrated ball-lock posts. No drilling, no extra hardware.
- Universal kegerator compatibility: Drop your Keg Smiths mini keg into any home kegerator that accepts ball-lock connections.
- Multi-use: Switch between using your keg as a portable Keg Smiths system or as a kegerator-fed mini keg without rebuilding.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this and the Ball Lock Disconnect Posts?
The Ball Lock Disconnect Posts thread onto an existing standard spear. The Ball Lock Spear is a complete spear replacement with the posts already integrated. Cleaner solution if you're doing a permanent conversion.
Can I use this with my existing tap and regulator?
Yes when running standalone, but typically you'd use this for connecting to a kegerator or ball-lock dispense system instead.
