Review on 🔧 8 PCS Universal Poppet Valve Set for Homebrewing: Keg Poppet Valve, Ball Lock & Pin Lock Poppets by Becky Chopra

The biggest problem with ball lock kegs is that they leak. and probably the most common point of failure is the disk. I've tried changing the o-rings on the cymbals but it never seems to work. Most of my kegs use Firestone plate cymbals and these "universal" plates are a great replacement or a fraction of the cost of a new Firestone. If you use common barrels, you should have an emergency. a supply of cymbals on hand and they work well. Changing the platter is an easy 5 minute project. There are many videos. Depressurize the keg, take a 7/8 spanner, loosen the pin, carefully remove the pin so as not to lose the current cymbal, check the o-ring / replace if necessary, put a new one Basin in, replace the pin, tighten the pin to 5-10 pounds of pressure (should be tight but don't try too hard so there aren't any leaks), spray on some Stellar San to make sure there are no leaks.
