So I was connecting a corny keg to my system and it was leaking air. As I had just killed one that connected just fine, I decided(is there a better combination of excitement and disappointment than finishing a keg?) to switch the poppets and things. I don't keg very often and when I finally switched everything out and the replacements appear to be working fine I looked at my old ones. They both have this style of poppet. With the "plug", spring, and shaft with prongs all on one piece. The other set(no picture as I didn't realize it until after the fact) had one of these, and another that had a short plug and a spring, but not the shaft and prong thing on the end. Are these equivalent? Am I not supposed to have this multi piece one? Or am I actually supposed to have different ins and outs and this keg was incorrectly fitted?
Also, the two poppets shown here have different seals. One seems like just a flat ring above the spring, the other appears to be two pieces, with one extending below the spring. The plugs are also different, as one has a circular indentation on it. Comments on the differences?
...and of course as I attempt to attach, the app says that it can't. I'll attempt to add them through the phone browser.
Edit: which now that I look at it, it appears to have worked just fine, and multiple times.
