Ball Lock Post Set - Firestone Keg - NEW
These are a NEW set of Firestone keg posts, made for Firestone kegs and they include new poppet valves and new o-rings for the posts.
304 Stainless Steel Construction.
These fit standard ball lock Firestone V Challenger, Firestone VI Challenger, and Firestone Super Challenger kegs. These will not fit Cornelius kegs.
To replace the posts on your keg, simply unscrew your old Firestone keg posts (preferably with the correct keg post socket), clean the threading on the keg to ensure a good seal, and screw the new posts onto your keg. They come fully assembled with o-rings ready to use! Depending on the age of your keg, it would be a good idea to remove the diptubes since you have the posts off of your keg already, and replace the dip-tube o-rings as well to make sure you do not have any leaks below the posts.
Firestone-style corny kegs have 2 different-sized threadings that the posts thread onto. So the gas and liquid posts are not the same. Unline a Cornelius brand keg posts where both posts have the same thread size.
NOTE: If you are trying to convert a pin lock Firestone keg to ball lock, these will not work.
You need this Firestone Pin Lock to Ball Lock Conversion Set.

Fun Fact:
Firestone Cornelius kegs, often referred to simply as "Cornelius kegs" or "Corny kegs," were originally manufactured by the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, which later became part of the Firestone Beverage Company. These kegs were primarily used for the storage and dispensing of carbonated beverages, mostly soda and syrups.
The production of Firestone Cornelius kegs began in the mid-20th century and continued for several decades. These kegs were widely used in the beverage industry and now by homebrewers. The exact manufacturing locations and dates may vary over the years, but they were produced in the United States.
Firestone Corny kegs have since become popular among homebrewers and craft beer enthusiasts for kegging their own beverages. While Firestone may no longer be producing these kegs, you can still find them in the second-hand market, and there are also new corny kegs and alternatives available for kegging purposes.
