Plastic ones get clogged with salt minerals. Hoping it is easier to clean and keep flowing. I'll expect to throw less of these away, if it all.

Exactly how much higher than the ball lock do the disconnects sit - I have about 3/4" clearance between the keg on my keezer hump and the lid?
Kenneth B on Apr 12, 2018
BEST ANSWER: About 1 1/2 inch. You may or may not want to expand the keezer with a collar build for space.
What size Allen wrench is needed to open and clean these disconnects?
Neal N on Sep 30, 2020
BEST ANSWER: If you don't have metric, a 5/16th inch works.

Great Form Factor. Poor Seal.
These fail at the basic requirement - establishing a reliable, leak-free connection for gas. I have an Inkbird CO2 monitor in my keezer, making it relatively easy for me to know when CO2 is leaking. I am literally a professional troubleshooter. Different technology, the the fundamentals of troubleshooting are fairly universal, so I am confident that the issue is the connection itself. The leak is not from the keg, the hose, the connection of the hose to the disconnect, nor the seal for the cap of the disconnect. The leak is fairly slow and is not improved by keg grease. I believe that the leak worsens if there is any stress at all causing the disconnect to tip slightly, but that's harder to verify. It's a shame. They "seem" well-made and the form factor is fantastic for my application, but I cannot use them without leaking expensive gas.

Torpedo In fitting
I got 2 sets. I tried both. I always replace my post ring seals after the use of a keg. The in fittings do not seal. I replaced my post seals twice & lost a tank of CO2 in the process.

Gas yes. Liquid NO!
I really wanted to like these. They’re well-built, look great, and as others have noted, they allow stacking of kegs due to their short profile. The gas disconnects are fine. However, the liquid disconnects have a fatal flaw. They’re darned near impossible to remove after having been on a keg for awhile. The locking ring becomes exceptionally hard to pull, I believe due to excessive amounts of beer escaping when attaching the disconnect to the keg. They are even hard to rotate on the post. I’ve tried using keg lube around part of the latching mechanism, but it hasn’t helped. Sadly, I’m going to have to get rid of these and try the Kegland disconnects instead. So, 5 stars for the gas disconnect and only 2 stars for the liquid.

Works like a ball lock should
I was getting ready to get rid of my Torpedo kegs because my standard ball lock fittings were extremely difficult to get on and off, for both the gas inlet and liquid outlet. I saw that you had Torpedo gas in and liquid out fittings and ordered a set. What a difference!!!! The fittings go on and off with ease. I haven’t read anywhere that the Torpedo ball lock fittings were different than standard, but obviously they are.

O-ring slips
The O-ring inside occasionally slips down partially out of its groove. No visible sign of damage to the o-ring. Would gladly buy a replacement ring, but cannot see where to do so. I have bought 6 (3xIN and 3xOUT), only having issue with the one.

Nice, solid product
Bought this as part of a roll-your-own spunding valve assembly because I wanted something more certain and reliable than a plastic gas-out connector. Well satisfied with this.

High quality disconnect
This is a high quality disconnect. I like that it works with stacked kegs! Be sure to order/use the plastic washer or the flare fitting will leak.

I would have given the fitting five stars except the part needed to be deburred after machining. I ordered 5 gas in and fluid out fittings and all of them needed to have the burr removed on the flange you pull up on to remove the fitting. Easy enough to do with a small file or Dremel tool.

What a joy to use !!
After struggling with the plastic ball locks, the metal, while 4 times the cost is still worth it. No struggles, snaps on, snaps off with ease, a dream to use and worth every $ spent.
