Description

The humble plastic ball lock disconnect has been around a long time and is used by countless homebrewers around the world.  Despite the extensive use they have seen little to no innovation for decades and KegLand wanted to change this. Enter the Duotight Ball Lock QD. The integrated Duotight design means you can connect your beer and gas line directly, easily and reliably with no need for additional fittings or clamps. It is a robust and super compact design that is incredibly easy to assemble and disassemble, making cleaning and sanitizing an absolute breeze!

Made from highly chemical resistant materials with stainless springs and ball bearings (no cheap ABS plastics here) this baby is extremely resistant to commonly used chemicals such as phosphoric based sanitizers and caustics. The incredibly small form factor allows for easy stacking of kegs. The new cap design ensures a pressure seal with just hand tightening and it can be completely taken apart for cleaning with no tools required.

Duotight Ball Lock QDs are offered in three sizes that correspond to the outer diameters seen on our line of EVABarrier Draft Tubing. 

  • 6.35 mm OD – features a very tight 3 mm ID that requires only 3.2 ft of length for adequate flow resistance. This is the ideal size for mobile draft or if you want to keep your kegerator as tidy as possible.
  • 8 mm OD – the most common OD size of EVABarrier tubing. This size comes in two IDs (4 mm & 5 mm) and pairs up with the lion's share of Duotight fittings and accessories. 4 mm ID is our most recommended size for beverage lines, requiring 5-6 ft. lengths. 5 mm ID is commonly used as gas line or when 10-12 ft. beverage lines are required.
  • 9.5 mm OD – suitable for gas lines or long draw beverage lines. At 6.3 mm ID, this size is ideal for beverage lines that will be 20 ft. or longer in length.

Duotight Push-to-Connect
These Duotight ball lock disconnects already have the Duotight fitting built into the ball lock disconnect. No need for additional threaded fittings. Simply push the beer/gas line in and you are done!

Compact
The world's most compact ball lock disconnect ever manufactured. This new compact form factor is great for tight spaces or fridges where you want to pack as many kegs in as possible. This is one of the only ball lock disconnects that allows standard ball lock kegs to be double stacked while still connected to beer and gas lines.

Overmolded Poppet
The overmolded poppet design means you can couple and disconnect this ball lock QD under extreme pressures of up to 150 psi (higher than most kegs working pressure) and will never have issues with the o-ring blowing out.

Tool-less Disassembly
Other ball lock disconnects require a tool such as a flat head screw driver or spanner to take them apart for cleaning. The new caps on these allow for easy disassembly by hand, making these easier to break down for cleaning. It's literally never been easier to remove hop particles from your ball lock disconnects.

Extreme Chemical Resistance
No cheap ABS plastic or nitrile seals. This ball lock disconnect is made from stainless spring and ball bearings, with an engineering polyketone resin body, EPDM and PP/EPDM overmolded poppet. This makes the quick disconnect resistant to extreme chemicals such as phosphoric and acetic acid, caustic soda, peroxide and many other acid or base chemicals which are commonly used in homebrewing.

Toughness
This ball lock disconnect is more robust than any other plastic ball lock disconnect ever manufactured due to the use of new engineering plastics. Don't be fooled by the small form factor — these bad boys are tough!

High Flow
The internal design of these allows for faster flow meaning you can slightly quicker transfers when compared to other plastic ball lock disconnects.

Features:

  • Ball Lock Quick Disconnect - Gas In
  • Direct connect EVABarrier tubing
  • Compact design won't interfere with keg stacking
  • Made from highly chemical resistant materials
  • Disassemble by hand for quick and easy cleaning
  • Three sizes available:
    • 6.35 mm (KL24242)
    • 8 mm (KL20756)
    • 9.5 mm (KL20770)

Are these like the red and yellow carb caps in that they are not actually post specific? Is the color just for reference? I wanted a ball lock QD that will work with either gas or liquid for cleaning.

Super easy hose attachment!
Would have been 5 stars if the fit on the post wasn't so ridiculously tight.

Arrived With Most of the Caps Stuck
The cap is badly designed. Most of my disconnects arrived with caps that were screwed on too tightly, and I had to use tools to get them off. Steel tools damaged the caps.

I suggested they make the caps long so people can get leverage with their fingers, and they said they were considering it.

Kegland has a machine that screws the caps on. This is why they arrive stuck.

Red Gas In QD
I prefer these over the "standard" gray fittings. I especially like that the outlet is at 90-degrees from the keg post instead of at the angle that they come out on the plastic ones.

I do wish though that there was a model that had a 1/4-inch flare fitting instead of the DuoTight. This would help facilitate taking them off if they should need to be cleaned or maintained.

These seem to be a half mm too small or something. Don't get me wrong, they work well, but they are very hard to get on and off compared to other options. I use Torpedo kegs

Leaked
Bought 4 and 2 of them leaked so bad they drained an entire CO2 tank. Found the leaks on the top cap seal by dunking it under water. I don’t understand how these could possibly seal without o-ring or some kind of a seal ring.

Does its Intended Job Just Fine
These disconnects provide a tight, leak-free, connection. Being able to remove the hose easily for different configurations is also a nice feature. I still use the old-school pin-lock (Coke) disconnects and I've noticed a few things about these disconnects as compared to the pin-locks. First, these are a REALLY tight fit. It'll take some pressure to engage these and pushing on fittings attached to plastic vessels should be done with care. Also, it's nearly impossible for me to engage the inner post to flush with sanitizer. I have to use my pointer finger and the post is tight enough that it gets uncomfortable fast. Much easier (and I can use my thumb) with the pin-locks. I'm sure I'll get used to it and/or find better ways to flush these with sanitizer. Two thumbs up!
