Flow control Ball Lock Disconnect

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.

As you would know setting up your beer lines isn't just about getting beer from keg to tap.  You also must make sure your system has the right flow resistance.

If you have a beer of a specific carbonation level you will be required to dispence that beer (if using CO2 to dispence) at a very specific pressure.  So you do not have the ability to increase or decrease pressure to change the flow speed out of the tap.  For this reason you need to either adjust the beer line length, internal diameter or use flow control devices like this to ensure your beer comes out the tap at the right speed.  Ideally between 250-400ml/10 seconds (based on the standard 10mm ID spout)
