It’s a barbed swivel nut

It’s a barbed swivel nut, what you want? It works just fine, it’s nothing particularly special. Haven’t used long enough to tell.

Great quality, perfect fit. Planning on keep a few of this around, just to have on hand.

Good for gas lines

Make sit easy to attach gas lines. If your CO2 regulator doesn't have a barb then this is the ideal pick up for you. It made mine a lot easier to use.

Worth the upfront cost

Its what I needed to connect my lines to my regulator. By swiveling there is no bending of the lines or pinching. I like the extra flexibility and swivel nuts are the way to go.

Simple and Great

Quality is awesome and easy to attach to the line. These make changing out parts of the system very easy! This will help save your line - no need to cut it from the barb everytime you need to change something.

good for gas lines

Unfortunately my C02 Regulator did not have a barbed end to connect to the gas line. I used this swivel nut and a hose clamp to connect the gas line and it's now working.

Great for changing out kegs

These are great. They allow me to easily interchange ball lock homebrew kegs and sanke (store bought) kegs. Soak your tubes in hot water and they can be installed easily.

Good product

I use these to connect my beer lines to my keg fittings. They work great and are easy to install. Just heat the end of the plastic tubing in some hot water and slip it over the barb. Great product.

Necessary for Kegging

I know some people don't use flared connectors and just rely on barbs for regulators and such, but I find this to be much easier to use and a breeze to clean lines. There's a bit more upfront cost compared to barbed connectors, but it's worth it, especially if you pick up pin-lock kegs for cheap even though you normally use ball-lock and vice versa._x000D__x000D_Just make sure you get Swivel Nut Gaskets to ensure a good seal

Decent

These are chrome plated and hold up decent considering but they do lose the plating eventually. For the price its a good unit, but stainless versions would be nice to see!

Better than plain barbed connectors

I like these for all my liquid and gas lines. For one thing, they swivel so there is no torque on the line, you can twist it to where it needs to be. Also, it allows you to change connectors out, if for example you want a liquid disconnect on your gas line._x000D__x000D_If the male flare fitting you are using is metal and does not have a plastic seal built in you need to get one separately, but they are very cheap.

Awesome

I use these for all of my lines and QD's. The extra initial upfront cost is well worth the investment when compared to the headache of changing lines and gives you additional flexibility. Swivel nuts are the way to go IMO.

Great For Gas Lines

My C02 Regulator did not have a barbed end to connect the gas line to, this swivel nut connected easily and made it simple to use a hose clamp to connect the gas line to it. Could not have worked better.

perfect for flexible systems

I use these to connect to my keg fittings. This allows me to use pin, ball lock, or a sanke fittings without cutting my lines off the barbs. Be sure to leave a small gap between the nut and hose end when installing a hose clamp, otherwise the nut wont spin easily. Also like any line fitting you want to warm the ends of the hose in hot water to soften. This allows easier installation and a better seal because the tube molds more. I also recommend using swivel nut gaskets for a better seal._x000D__x000D_ http://www.midwestsupplies.com/swivel-nut-gasket.html

is this part stainless?

yes

What size barb do you put on this? What size for liquid...what size for gas?

Midwest Supplies

The black liquid ball lock disconnect shown has a 3/8 inch post. The barbed swivel nut (also linked to from description in Midwest Supplies online catalog) connects to it nicely with the barb being 1/4 inch. The barb fits snugly into standard beverage tubing (1/4 inch I.D., 3/4 inch, O.D.). I used the same barbed swivel nut with red gas tubing, which is 5/16 inch.

Midwest Supplies

Gas Line is 5/16 id---use a 1/4 barb--------liquid use line is 3/16 ID use the 3/16 barb

Midwest Supplies

The disconnect has 1/4"MFL, the gas would also have the same size.

Are these Stainless?

Midwest Supplies

I believe they are, they are not plated with anything.

Midwest Supplies

Yes they are

What size does your "Ball Lock Liquid Disconnect, Threaded" use? I see no sizes in the descriptions.

Midwest Supplies

It's used with 1/4" ID, 1/2" OD tubing which is what should be your standard CO2 gas line.

Midwest Supplies

1/4" MFL
