Ball Lock Beer Connector with Barb

Ball Lock Beer Connector with 1/4″ Barb

The Ball Lock Beer Connector with 1/4″ Barb is a practical and robust solution for connecting your beer line directly to the liquid post of a Cornelius keg. Designed for reliability and ease of use, this connector provides a tight seal and dependable flow for clean, efficient beer dispensing—whether at home or on the go.

Direct Hose-to-Keg Connection

With its integrated 1/4″ barbed fitting, this connector allows you to attach standard beer line tubing directly to your keg without any additional fittings or adapters. Simply slide your 1/4″ inner-diameter beer line onto the barb and secure it using a hose clamp. This creates a strong, leak-free seal that holds up under pressure and regular use.

The barbed fitting is ideal for brewers who want a streamlined setup without threaded components. It’s especially suited to fixed installations or portable systems where a solid, tamper-proof connection is preferred.

Quick and Secure Ball Lock Mechanism

The connector features a quick-connect ball lock fitting that snaps firmly onto the liquid post of any standard Cornelius keg. The internal spring and gasket system ensure a tight, pressure-sealed fit that prevents gas or beer from escaping. Once connected, it provides a smooth and unrestricted flow of beer from the keg to your tap, picnic tap, or faucet.

This easy connection and disconnection system makes cleaning, transferring, and maintaining your keg system more efficient, especially when dealing with multiple kegs or mobile setups.

Built for Homebrewers

Constructed from high-quality plastic and stainless-steel components, the Ball Lock Beer Connector with 1/4″ Barb is built to last. It’s resistant to wear and tear from cleaning chemicals like PBW, Star San, and peracetic acid, making it ideal for brewers who prioritise sanitation and longevity.

Its rugged design is also engineered to withstand the pressure and rigours of carbonation and serving, ensuring it holds up through repeated use and multiple brew days.

Universally Compatible

This connector is fully compatible with all Cornelius-style kegs and fits standard liquid posts. It integrates seamlessly into most homebrewing and draft dispensing systems. Whether you’re setting up a new kegerator or expanding an existing one, this beer connector offers plug-and-play functionality with minimal fuss.

Use it with beer lines leading to picnic taps, chrome faucets, tower taps, or mobile party systems - it’s versatile enough to meet the needs of any setup.

Ideal for Permanent and Mobile Systems

The 1/4″ barb design makes this connector perfect for more permanent installations, such as kegerators, keezer builds, or built-in tap walls. Once the line is clamped onto the barb, it stays firmly in place, reducing the risk of disconnections or leaks.

At the same time, it’s also a popular choice for portable setups where durability and reliability are critical—ideal for beer events, mobile bars, and competitions where equipment is frequently assembled and broken down.

Dependable and Efficient Dispensing

With the Ball Lock Beer Connector with 1/4″ Barb, you get a reliable, hassle-free way to serve your beer directly from the keg. Its clean, straightforward design is appreciated by homebrewers who want simplicity without compromising performance.

Whether you're a beginner setting up your first keg system or an experienced brewer refining a multi-keg operation, this connector ensures your beer line is locked in place and ready to pour, pint after pint.
