Reddit reviews Foxx 4048Sankey to Ball Lock Quick Disconnect Conversion Kit

Amazon has them for pretty cheap.

If wanted to use a Sanke to ball lock conversion kit (see link below) would I not need a liquid dip tube? I'm guessing that's all taken care of within the commercial Sanke keg.

ha, loud and clear! I'm on call now, so you lucked out!

I wish I could give you some definitive advice, but without seeing what he's got, I can't comment with authority. He's probably got standard sanke couplers and I've not seen a good solution there. If you live close, I'd pay him a visit and see what you're dealing with. It's probably going to come down to you just making up some new lines to mate with your corny.
We're getting ready for our Strausstoberfest this weekend and over the summer I reconfigured all of my kegging lines to use 1/4 MFL's for an easier change out than barbed fittings. I may have a last minute surprise myself, as a friend has offered to bring a 1/6 barrel to the party, but it will be sanke. Fortunately, I already have a sanke connector and these from Amazon:

If there is anything I can help with, let me know!

Haven't tried this but it might do the trick:

Ball lock adapters on the shank. Ball lock disconnects with hose barbs on the beer line.

They come in pairs and you only need the beer lines, but I suppose you can figure out a way to QD that gas manifold too if you were eager.

Or just put these on a Sankey tap.

There are a couple conversion kits. This one adapts the sanke tap to have ball lock connects. https://www.amazon.com/Foxx-4048Sankey-Quick-Disconnect-Conversion/dp/B00C30F75I


This kit swaps the sanke barb fittings for the flare fittings found on nicer ball lock connectors so you can easily swap lines over.

edited links to not be a mess.

Cut the hose for the sanke connector and add on a threaded connector end to the gas line. Do the same to the liquid line going up the tap tower. Get the threaded connectors, not barbed. You would then get either pin lock or ball lock gas/liquid connectors and screw then onto the hoses and then connect to the keg. If you ever want to put a regular keg in there, get one of these so you can use ball lock connectors with a regular keg:

My LHBS is where I first heard about them, but amazon has them as well as a few other places.

I put these adapters on my sankey fitting, i keep all of my fittings ball lock and then if i have a sanke keg i just use the adapter.

A quick Google search provided me this. Seems easy enough. I'm sure there are cheaper prices out there if you do a little more searching than I did. All hail the almighty Amazon. Cheers!

Since I drink commercial beer from the kegerator when I haven't had time to brew I had the need to use both. I got sankey to ball lock adapters. I also got a 90° elbow for the beer line, so it wouldn't kink against the top of the fridge with the adapters on.
I took the lines off the sankey, put the ball lock quick disconnects on the hoses, and that's it. Works well. I can take a pic of the huge hunk of metal on top of my commercial keg if you would like.

The best way to do this (in my opinion) is to buy the normal sanke tap thing (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002UZUSIM/) and get a snake to ball lock adapter (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C30F75I/)

You essentially take off two parts of the sanke tap thing, and replace them with the kit. This allows you to tap a sanke keg, then attach it to your system as if it was a ball lock keg. So normally you’d have two ball lock kegs, and sometimes you’d hook up this to the connections and tap a sanke keg with it.

Depending on your line type, removing the ball lock quick disconnects from the setup can be a massive PITA, this is very simple, almost an instant change over.

Btw those were just the first product results on Google, I’m not recommending those necessarily. Just an example.

You'll want to do some research on the height you have and the height you'll need. You know the height if the 1/6 keg, how much room do you have for the line connections? Any sanke to ball lock conversion kit would add extra height.

This kit would work if you have enough clearance but it would easily add 4-6 inches to your keg height.

I used this and these and just use ball lock quick disconnects on all tubing -- works great.

Will this be all I need?

Thanks! Are these the products you're talking about?

Easy! You can build the exact same thing, but you'll have to slightly modify your Sanke keg coupler with something like these. Basically, you put those ball lock conversion couplers onto your Sanke coupler and add ball lock disconnects to your existing gas/liquid lines. Now your system will work with the device in the hbt thread, and you'll be able to tab ball lock kegs too!

1. Probably yes
   
   
2. Yes, but the coupler is different for the country of origin of the beer.
   
3. Are you looking at making soda or buying soda? If you're making it, you should do homebrew kegs for it. I do homebrew and use those kegs primarily, but I bought one of these:
   
   http://www.amazon.com/Sankey-Ball-Quick-Disconnect-Conversion/dp/B00C30F75I
   
   So I can hook up sankey kegs to my ball lock disconnect system. Works great
   
   
4. Seems reasonable.

Thanks, yes it is a Sanjay keg. Is it one of these I need along with the regular co2 set-up?
