Quick connector with flow control and ball lock stainless steel
Usage: Professional flow control ball lock disconnect for serving beverages with varying carbonation levels. Allows easy adjustment of flow resistance without relying on beer line length or diameter. Machined from stainless steel with MFL thread, ideally used with duotight MFL fittings.
Features: Flow restriction before beer enters the line keeps carbonation in solution thanks to head pressure. Significantly reduces foaming issues compared to flow control taps. Quality stainless steel construction with MFL thread. Compatible with duotight fittings.
Technical data: Material: Stainless steel. Thread: MFL. Optimal dispensing speed: 250-400ml/10 seconds (based on 10mm ID spout). Note: Even fully open, FC disconnects have inherent flow resistance - use shorter or larger ID lines compared to traditional ball lock disconnects.
Important: Use shorter beer lines or larger internal diameter lines than with traditional ball lock disconnects due to inherent flow resistance even when fully open. Do not combine with long lines or small ID lines as the FC device provides the flow resistance.
⚠️ Important: This product has been discontinued. A newer design in industrial grade plastic (duotight 8mm) is now available.
Frequently asked questions about this product
What problem does the flow control feature actually solve?
It lets you adjust flow resistance right at the keg post instead of relying on the length or diameter of your beer line. By restricting flow before the beverage enters the line, it keeps carbonation dissolved under head pressure, so highly carbonated drinks pour with far less foaming than they would through a fixed disconnect or a flow-control tap.
How do I dial it in for a clean pour?
Start with the control more closed for a highly carbonated beverage and open it gradually. As a reference, a well-balanced pour is around 250-400 ml in 10 seconds when used with a 10 mm internal-diameter spout. If you get foam, close it slightly; if the pour is too slow, open it. Adjusting at the disconnect avoids having to re-cut beer lines.
Does it change how I should size my beverage lines?
Yes - even fully open, a flow-control disconnect has built-in flow resistance, so it already does much of the job a long restrictive line normally does. Use shorter lines, or lines with a larger internal diameter, than you would with a traditional ball lock disconnect; otherwise the combined resistance makes pours sluggish.
What does it connect to?
It is machined stainless steel with an MFL thread and is intended to pair with DuoTight MFL push-in fittings, so you can attach 8 mm or 9.5 mm tubing without tools. The stainless body and threaded fitting make it durable for repeated service and easy to integrate into an existing ball lock keg setup.
