A great way to repair your keg, even if you're not sure what type you have! This poppet works on all of the kegs that we sell, Pin or Ball lock! Poppets are pretty easy to damage or lose while cleaning your keg, and having a couple extra universal poppets on hand is a great way to make sure that you can always serve your homebrew!

Compatible with our ball and pin lock replacement body connects - KEG460G, KEG470G, KEG1100, KEG1101.

  • They clean so much easier and don't destroy the top of your dip tubes.
  • Stiff and always seat correctly for my kegs. I will only use these in the future.
  • Perfect fit for my Firestone corny. I can't wait to buy a set for my Spartanburg.

The o-ring on the old poppet had disintegrated hind sight might of been able to just replace that The new one worked fine. . No problems

Strong springs

I like the strong springs of this poppet. I just wish that the springs were attached to the top part of the poppet so were easier to handle. I feel that it might be easy to lose the tops of these poppets.

Works as intended with a couple notes:

In trying to determine poppets for a older corny keg I wasn’t sure which would best fit my need so I bought them all. These fit my new corny kegs quite well but my old one is in the pic. It doesn’t fit as tightly and sticks out. Still works just fine but puts some more pressure on the o ring. Don’t clip the spring or you will damage your tube. We will see if they settle some. My new kegs use this style and don’t stick out. So try them and see what works best for you. I would rate this as the best value for sure but worst fit of the 3. The CM Becker fit the most oem. All worked.

Love these

These don't destroy the top of your gas-in/liquid-out dip tubes. I freaking love these and they clean so much easier. No more pushing the poppet out and then having to try to press it back in later with needle nose pliers. They should have just started with these 100 years ago instead....

Almost universal

Almost universal is what it should be called.

Some issues

I bought 4 sets of these as stock backups for damaged or lost poppets for my ball lock kegs. When I started putting them into service I had issues. The springs are much larger and stiffer than the original springs in my 2-piece poppets. The black plastic liquid side fitting does not seat properly. Father Goose said his were initially very stiff. Maybe I can break them in. But they are not working well out of the package.

Great replacement part for pin lock kegs.

When I got my used pin lock kegs I replaced the poppets with the Original parts however after a year of use they never seat correctly. I was introduced to these "universal" poppets and I love them stiff and always seat correctly for my kegs. I will only use these in the future for my pin locks.

I was skeptical but this thing works great

At first I was a bit apprehensive about the universal poppet however after buying one and testing it out it is a perfect fit for my Firestone corny. I can't wait to buy a set for my Spartanburg to see how well they work...assuming it will be flawless.

Good universal poppet

I have all ball lock kegs but have a few different post on some of them. These universal poppets seem to do the trick on all of them. The only downfall is that they don't stay in the post so be careful when taking them apart for cleaning.

Perfect solution if you have a bunch of kegs of different types

Once you switch out the o-rings from a soda keg really the only part that's likely to be problematic for you are leaky poppets. If you have kegs from different manufacturers you know that the poppets are different from one to the next. Keep a couple of these on hand for when you discover a bad one in your keg. Because they're "universal" they tend to be a bit long/big for most situations and I think this is why some people say they're stiff or don't work quite right. I solved this by taking some snips and cutting the bottom coil off the spring. Still gives just the right amount of tension without needing a hammer to put the ball lock connectors on.

Worked Well

Have used these on three different kegs. Worked well on all three. Are initially very very stiff.
