duotight 9.5mm (3/8) x Ball Lock Disconnect - (Black + Yellow Liquid)

The humble plastic ball lock disconnects have been around a long time and are used by thousands of home brewers around the world.  Despite the extensive use they have seen little to no innovation for decades and KegLand wanted to change this.  As a result we have come out with the new duotight ball lock disconnect for the big chunky 9.5mm OD EVABarrier hosing.

This particular disconnect is predominantly used in our transfer kits to ensure fast flow with the larger ID capabilities.

Compatible with the following hosing:
KL06248 - EVABarrier 6.3mm ID x 9.5mm OD x 12m Roll - Double Wall EVA
KL42772 - Black Lightshield EVABarrier 6.3mm ID x 9.5mm OD x 12m Roll - Double Wall EVA

Generation 2 duotight
- Colour Coded Collets (6.35mm [1/4"] = Green ~ 8mm [5/16] = Black ~ 9.5mm [3/8] = Blue)
- Burst pressure is over 300psi @ 25°C
- Material Polyketone (POK) no longer Acetal (like John Guest Fittings)
- Higher Chemical & UV Resistance
- Excellent Gas Barrier Properties with EPDM + Silicone Seals
- Superior Performance in Cold Temperatures
- Easier to fit with Gauge depth indicators >|    |<

Looking for high quaility push in fittings that will seal tight?  duotight are the push in fitting with superior sealing capacity due to the double o-ring sealing design.

Why do we use Double O-rings?
The secret to our superior sealing performance is not just the fact that we use high quality EPDM and a Silicone O-Ring.

Why two different materials?
EPDM has a high gas and chemical resistance, but when chilled it can shrink slightly. Silicone O-Rings are also very chemical resitant but perform far better under sub-zero conditions not losing their shape.
By having the best of both worlds we're making sure there is twice as much sealing surface compared to other push in fittings on the market with just one.
This makes our fittings even more reliable and reduces the chance of a leak significantly.

The double o-ring system also means that we can bend the hose with much tighter radius without causing leaking issues.  This typically can be an issue with other fittings.  This combination of factors makes duotight fittings the most reliable push fit fittings on the market.

No clamps necessary! 
We do recommend cutting your hosing straight, not on an angle, to ensure the line has a complete seal. To remove the fitting simply push in the collet and the hose can be removed. 

Some of the features include:

1. duotight push in
   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!
2. Compact
   The worlds most compact ball lock disconnect every 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 the only ball lock disconnect that allows standard ball lock kegs to be double stacked while still connected to beer and gas lines.
3. Overmoulded Poppet
   The overmoulded poppet design means you can couple and disconnect this ball lock disconnect under extreme pressures of 150psi and will never have issues with the o-ring blowing out.
4. 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.
5. 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 polykeytone resin body, EPDM and PP/EPDM overmoulded poppet.  This makes this ball lock 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.
6. 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!
7. 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.

If you are often pulling your beer and gas line sideways we recommend the use of the duotight male to female elbow as this allows your gas to swivel 360 degrees without making a kink in the beer/gas line. We have three different sizes available:
KL18449 monotight - 6.35mm (¼') Female x 6.35mm (¼') Male Elbow
KL18456 duotight - 8mm (5/16”) Female x 8mm (5/16”) Male Elbow
KL18432 duotight - 9.5mm (3/8”) Female x 9.5mm (3/8”) Male Elbow

KegLand now manufactures several other duotight ball lock disconnects just like this one to suit several different beer/gas line sizes.  So for different beer and gas line use the following part numbers:
KL24235 duotight 6.5mm (1/4") x Ball Lock Disconnect - (Black-Yellow/Liquid)
KL24242 duotight 6.5mm (1/4") x Ball Lock Disconnect - (Grey-Red/Gas)
KL20749 duotight 8mm (5/16") x Ball Lock Disconnect - (Black-Yellow/Liquid)
KL20756 duotight 8mm (5/16") x Ball Lock Disconnect - (Grey-Red/Gas)
KL20763 duotight 9.5mm (3/8") x Ball Lock Disconnect - (Black-Yellow/Liquid)
KL20770 duotight 9.5mm (3/8") x Ball Lock Disconnect - (Grey-Red/Gas)
