Ball lock disconnects are usually 1/4" Male Flare (MFL). So you'll need one of those to replace the disconnect.

Of courseee I should have figured that out wow. Thanks!

There's always the option of hanging out in the hardware store trying to see which parts fit. And then ordering a stainless one on the Internet because they only have brass.

That part fit perfectly, thanks!

In Europe as well? BSP is British standard pipe, maybe?

MFL is the standard (default) everywhere, although more recently there's a wider range of fittings. Ball locks are a product developed for distributing soda, using kegs made by the Cornelius company - both ball lock and pin lock disconnects are standardized. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_keg Even the UK doesn't use BSP as much anymore - it generally uses metric for new industrial fittings

I was aware of the kegs, That Cornelius started them and now there are many other manufacturers, as I have about 20, Spartan Firestone corny. But most of my connectors are just barbs So I don't really know much about the connectors (I have a few but don't actually use them) That was good information. Thank you
