Marty_G Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I am a bit disappointed, I finished setting up my keg fridge today and set up a keg which i filled with 30 stubbies of golden ale. The issue I have is both posts are leaking from the disconnects, all good when with pressure when lines are disconnected so it is not the posts .... the thing is I have already put new o-rings on when I pulled the keg to pieces and replaced washers, o-rings etc ... I think the ones i used from the LHBS, sky blue silicone, aren't quite beefy enough ... anyone got any suggestion .. I know that the size is apparently "111" .... cheers ...

Norris! Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I just use the Cornelius keg o ring sets from the LHBS, no problems really so far, but I do keep spares of all rings and adapters just in case I have an issue. https://cheekypeakbrewery.com.au/cornelius-keg-seal-kit-lid-o-ring-2-x-post-o-rings-2-x-dip-tube-o-rings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I have pretty much had the same thing happen to me, I changed all my disconnects to SS, changed all my o rings to silicone. No leaks yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navigator Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I used triple j home brew and got 3 x full sets. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Closer to home, Craftbrewer sells seal replacement kits for kegs, might be worth a look. That's what I'll be getting when I need to replace mine. 4 years in and haven't had to yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tried a brass disconnect that was on a Pluto gun the father in-law gave me and no leaks so there is hope ... my bet the cheap disconnects ... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had dramas with the cheap no name ones I had so binned them and got some CMB ones, haven't had any dramas since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aware that at $120.00 for a full 3 tap set I was going to get a bit of a lucky dip. 100% will be getting some SS ones ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
