Duotight 8mm x Flow Control Ball Lock Disconnect - Liquid

If you want an easy way to balance your beer lines this is the way to do it.  Please be aware that even in the fully open position these FC disconnects do have some inherent flow resistance so you should use either shorter line or larger ID line that you would when compared with traditional ball lock disconnects.  One of the benefits of FC disconnects is you don't need to rely on the small ID or line length to apply flow resistance so it would not make sense to use long lines or small ID lines as well as this is the job of the FC device.

This is perfect for people who want to serve a large range of beverages with differing carbonation levels as it gives you the ability to adjust resistance easily. Now with the added benefit of duotight fittings built in.


This particular ball lock disconnect has been designed to suit 8mm Beer Line. Due to the integrated duotight fitting the line will simply push directly into this fitting.

This all new ball lock disconnect sets a new bar! The integrated duotight design means you can connect your beer line directly, easily and reliably - no need for additional fittings or clamps. It is a robust and super compact compared to the previous Stainless Steel Flow Control Ball Lock that has been discontinued due to the difficulty in repeated tooling and overall cost of raw materials.

Some of the features include:

1. New POK Injection-moulded Design.
   Like all new duotights push in fittings that we at KegLand bring to market, all of them are manufactured with polyketone plastic (POK). This aids in chemical resistance, tensile strength, and toughness.
2. 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!
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
