This 5 Gallon Home Brew Ball Lock Beer Keg has a permanently molded rubber bottom skirt and top handles, which not only make it easy to grasp and carry, but allows them to be easily stacked on top of one another so that you can store a lot in a small space. It's perfect for small breweries just getting started or home brewers looking to keg their beer. These Pepsi soda kegs kegs meet NSDA voluntary standards. The body is constructed of 304 grade stainless steel for supreme cleanliness and sanitation. The lid fastens tightly to the body and has a pressure release valve to easily depressurize the keg. Working pressure must not exceed 130 P.S.I.G.
TANK BODY
The tank is created by assembling the upper part (handle top), the lower part (rubber bottom), and the shell (calendared ferrule). The different metallic parts are assembled using round and longitudinal welding. All of the welds on the tank are automatically made following the TIG system in an inert atmosphere without any deposit of material. On top of the tank there is an oval opening (the mouth) that allows the tank to be closed using the lid. On the bottom of the tank there is a sump to enhance the draining off. Printed on the stainless steel exterior surface of the body there is information about the tank capacity, its identification numbers, and the manufacturer. The lid is made of stainless steel and features a pull ring relief valve.
BODY MATERIALS
The tank model "NC" is made of AISI type 304 stainless steel (1.4301) with No. 2B mill finish steel sheet, which fulfills ASTM A240 specifications. All interior surfaces are smooth to prevent any possible dirt or contaminants from remaining inside after the keg has been washed and sterilized. Stainless steel does not react to magnetic attraction and its color does not change due to cleaning or sterilization. The body has a thickness of 0.70 mm.
PLUGS
The upper part of the tank is equipped with one liquid plug and one gas plug to allow for a quick disconnect from the draft dispense system. The gas plug has an incision on the hexagon and the liquid plug does not have an incision on the hexagon. They are both clearly marked by a stencil.
STEMS
On the top part of the tank there are two welded stems through which the gas tube and the liquid tube are inserted into the tank and on top of which the plugs are fixed.
RUBBER COATING
Both the top and the bottom of the tank are covered with black hot vulcanized natural rubber bonded onto the steel. Two handles in the top offer easy handling. Four openings in the bottom skirt enhance the drain of water when the keg is upside down. The maximum outside diameter on the rubber parts is larger than the outside diameter of the body, allowing the keg to be rolled and minimizing damage by impact.

Quality Keg! MikeOne of the lowest prices for a new keg. This is quality product and I spent the extra money on this model because I like the protection the top rubber collar gives to the posts and the easier handling it allows. If you can afford the price difference this is model to purchase.

Excellent quality kegs, great priceMy lovely wife got me two of these new corny kegs for Christmas. They are very nice and look to be of outstanding quality and durability. I sat them side by side next to some of my used corny kegs, and they look quite similar, but not as dented up and scratched obviously. These are Italian made with KegCo laser etched on the side, with 130 psi max pressure rating, similar to used corny kegs. The rubber top and bottom protectors are similar to my used corny kegs, but these have an 1/8" rubber "flange" that extends out from the keg to protect the stainless if the keg falls or is laid on its side, which is a nice touch. I understand that shipping was fast, and the price is great especially considering that used and refurbished corny kegs are approaching 2/3 the price of these brand new ones. In addition, all hardware appears to be interchangeable with older ones. It appears that they use the standard cover and o-ring, with ball lock posts and hardware apparently identical to my older Pepsi style ball lock kegs. They also have a pressure relief valve with a pull ring, a very handy item to have to release CO2 when needed. Overall, I am very pleased with this Christmas present and hope to press them into service soon.
