Ball Locks - Plastic (Gas & Liquid)
The line-side disconnects that snap onto your ball-lock keg posts. This is the plastic-bodied version with 1/4" MFL (male flare) threaded fittings — versatile, reliable, and the standard for connecting beverage and gas lines to any ball-lock keg setup. Sold as a gas / liquid pair so you can plumb both sides of the keg in one shot.
Why MFL fittings
- More versatile than barbs: MFL accepts a wide range of swivel nuts and adapters — much easier to swap line types or fitting sizes.
- Reusable: Unlike barbed fittings (which often deform on removal), MFL connects and disconnects cleanly hundreds of times.
- Reliable seal: Properly tightened MFL holds gas and liquid pressures without leaks.
- Plastic body: Lightweight, lower-cost option compared to stainless. Plenty for home draft use.
