Converting pinlock to ball, problems

[Marcale]

Hi folks,
Me again.
I have just converted a pinlock keg to a ball lock, not difficult but I have a problem. It seems that there is an incompatibility between the springs in the post and the disconnect. The poppet opens but there is not enough pushback from the poppet spring to open the valve in the disconnect. And before anyone asks yes I have got the inlet and the outlet the right way round, and there is no gas pressure in the line.

Does anyone have any experience of this or thoughts on how to fix?

Also, apparently I now live in NULL as do many of other members, but I have seen few of you out on the streets.

I would like to move, any ideas on how to achieve this?

I thought you might like this as well.
A quick, cheap and reliable air lock. A pin prick in the end of the thumb let’s the gas out. When the pressure falls the hole automatically closes. Also when erect, fermentation is vigorous, when flaccid its al over.

According to your profile your occupation is also null, also like many others. I guess the reason you're not seeing many others on the streets is because they are queuing at the overworked null job centre.

If you do not enter a signature, location or occupation the forum lists them all as NULL, if you want to change this visit the tips and tricks thread in the support forum.:thumb1:

When going from flacid to erect does it stay put or is there a chance it'll get blown off.....?

Experienced users do not normally have premature fermentations.
