Keg poppet, local source or online?

[TimG]

Need a new poppet valve for my ball lock gas in connector. This something I should buy online (I can wait a bit) or locally? Probably pick up 2-3 to have them around.

Can't replace just the odd shaped o-ring seal on these I'm guessing?

Thanks

try noble grape...not sure what they keep on hand though. Lots of places online have them, but for a small priced item, you'd pay more for shipping. Also, make sure you order the right one if you go that route...there's a few different types of poppets, and they're all not interchangeable.

Best to take in old one if you can, but here's a link with some info to help ya out with the different types.

As far as i know you can't replace the o-ring seal.....i usually just tank the poppet out and put some vaseline or keg lube on the seal..then re-install...holds for a while after that.

Thanks, once the keg is empty I'll pull it out and figure out what/where to order. Maybe I'll get in on a group buy from a retailer and save on the shipping.

I think NG is the best place to get the poppets. They aren't that expensive, and you can make sure you get the right one if you aren't 100% sure what you need.

NG it is, thanks guys.
