Can the two posts and the PRV all be swapped around to different positions? Are they all attached with the same thread size?
Daniel Mayfield on Apr 24, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Unfortunately not. The threading for all of the pieces is different and not interchangeable.
Replacement gaskets available?
Thomas McGloine on Mar 30, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Yes, I have found you have to look for is a 2” tc single side, or half gasket. The regular one doesn’t work since they have an alignment ring on both sides. The half, or single side gaskets have the ring on one side and the other side is flat. The flat side goes on the keg and one with the ring goes on the adapter.
Has anyone had any problems with the pick up tube? I keep having trouble with flow.
Gary Potter on Feb 7, 2022
BEST ANSWER: I never had issues but like anything it comes with caveats; if you're not cutting to the appropriate length it can get stuck in the trub, or hop debris. Use a floating dip tube with this product and eliminate the problem completely.
Will this work with the Ball Lock Adapter Tapping Head for Sanke Kegs?

BEST ANSWER: Yes. Once you de-spear the sanke keg, this will go onto it with the triclamp and you can connect ball locks to it. I also use mine with the floating dip tube, but that’s not required.
How does the plastic dip hose connect? Can it be replaced with a corny-style stainless dip tube?
Jay Eychaner on Jun 18, 2020
BEST ANSWER: The plastic hose connects to the bottom of the cap with a hose barb fitting. It would be possible to adapt it to use a steel dip tube if you use a small amount of tubing to couple from the barb to the stainless dip tube. You may also need to cut your dip tube a little short to fit perfectly.

Great quality and workmanship. Nice easy way to integrate a keg into my ball lock system. It was on backorder but we'll worth the wait.
I only gave it 4 star as I not sure how well the plastic tubing will work.
I would recommend this to anyone looking to utilize a spare keg.

The clamps fitment is terrible.
I can't wait to get these hooked up. I'm switching my sanke connection to a ball lock to make washing easier. My complaint- I've purchased 4 of these; three of the clamps have terrible fitment and will have to be replaced. They aren't suitable for a pressurized application.
Poor clamo fitment on the right side of the clamp.

Performs as described
Very happy with this. Well made and should last a lifetime. It should however, come with a floating dip tube ball, even if it's at a higher price. Also the option to purchase extra gaskets would be helpful.

One of those hmm... finds
It works, I couldn't have easily fabricated it's equivalent , the pickup tube seemed small but it works too. No clog.

Since adapting corny kegs my sankes have been collecting dust. This thing saved the serving career of a plastic pubkeg. They're fragile finicky things come cleaning time. Now it's modified, together and will stay that way and get used.
