Liquid Ball Lock Disconnect – Black with Barb
A reliable Liquid Ball Lock Disconnect for connecting beer line to ball lock Cornelius-style kegs.
The traditional black disconnect identifies the liquid/beer side, making it easy to distinguish from grey gas disconnects in your kegging setup.
This model features an integrated stainless-steel hose barb, providing a simple and economical connection for beer line without requiring a separate MFL swivel fitting. Your current product uses a stainless-steel barb rather than nickel-coated brass.

Black = Liquid / Beer
Ball lock keg disconnects are colour coded to make identifying each side of the keg easier.
Black = Liquid / Beer
Grey = Gas / CO₂
This disconnect attaches to the liquid post of a compatible ball lock keg and connects the keg to your beer dispensing line.
Ideal for Cornelius & Homebrew Kegs
Ball lock disconnects are the standard connection used on many Cornelius-style or “Corny” homebrew kegs.
They're ideal for:
- 19L ball lock kegs
- Cornelius-style kegs
- Homebrew keg systems
- Kegerators
- Beer dispensing systems
- Portable keg setups
- Replacement keg fittings
Always confirm that your keg uses ball lock posts, as ball lock and pin lock keg fittings are different.
Barbed vs MFL Ball Lock Disconnect
This version has a fixed hose barb, allowing compatible beer line to be fitted directly to the disconnect.
A barbed disconnect is a simple choice for a permanent beer-line setup.
An MFL disconnect, by comparison, has a threaded connection that allows different swivel nuts and fittings to be attached.
If you simply want a straightforward liquid disconnect with a hose connection, the barbed version is an economical option.
