Ball lock for all KEG closures (except flat-sealing models) – Material: PVC
1. Function of the ball lock
The ball lock is an essential safety component for KEG closures that are equipped with a check ball or check cone. It prevents these from falling out of the KEG spigot, thereby maintaining the controlled flow of liquid or gas.
Since KEG systems work with check mechanisms, the ball lock ensures that the check ball or check cone is held securely in place so that it always sits correctly in the closure and guarantees a tight, reliable connection.
2. Features of the ball lock
compatible with all common KEG closures (except flat-sealing models)
Holds the recoil ball or recoil cone securely in the lock
Made of high-quality PVC – durable, robust, and resistant
flexible material for easy handling and reliable hold
Resistant to moisture, pressure, and cleaning agents
Easy to assemble and clean
3. Design and function
The ball lock consists of specially shaped PVC that is highly elastic and resistant. It is placed in the KEG closure to hold the check ball or check cone securely in place.
When filling or tapping a KEG, the check ball or cone opens to allow beer or gas to flow through.
The ball lock ensures that these do not fall out of the socket, even during maintenance or movement of the KEG.
this maintains the tightness of the KEG system at all times, preventing gas loss or leaks.
4. Advantages of the PVC ball lock
secure hold: Reliably prevents the check ball or check cone from falling out.
durable and robust: Made of hard-wearing PVC that can withstand high loads.
resistant: Resistant to moisture, pressure, and cleaning agents.
lightweight and flexible: The low weight makes installation easy, while the flexibility of the material ensures secure fastening.
easy to clean: PVC can be easily cleaned with water and mild cleaning agents.
5. Application & installation
Step 1: Check the KEG closure for cleanliness and integrity.
Step 2: Insert the ball or cone into the socket of the KEG.
Step 3: Position the ball lock so that the ball or cone is held securely in the cap.
Step 4: Make sure that the ball lock is correctly positioned and cannot slip.
Important: This ball lock is not suitable for flat-sealing KEG models!
6. Cleaning & maintenance
regular inspection: Check the ball lock for deposits or wear.
cleaning: Rinse the safety device with warm water or a mild cleaning agent.
replacement in case of defect: If the PVC is brittle or damaged, the safety device should be replaced.
