So I bought the Kegco sanky coupler below:
Amazon Link
After installing on Christmas Eve for a party, it leaked out the PRV.
Below is the review I left for the product:
I would not recommend this product to anyone!
I received the product and gave it a thorough cleaning in Oxy Clean Free for about 30 minutes in hot water. Then a 5 minute bath in Star San to sanitize. (Side note, the Kegco logo sticker on the end of the handle started pealing off, not quality craftsmanship).
The first issue I noticed was that the tap does not allow you to turn the 1/4 turn the description says, you may get 3/16 but in my case it still sealed to the keg. See the video.
The second and by far the deal breaker is that the PRV (pressure relief valve) leaks badly. The minute I taped the keg I could hear hissing from the valve. At first I pulled the PRV and let it snap back in. I did this many times rotating it 1/4 turn letting it snap back. This didn't help the leaking. So I took things to the next step. With a cut piece of tubing, I unscrewed the PRV to check for any machining bits left in that may cause a seal leak. After cleaning and reassembling, it still leaked.
I needed this for a Christmas Eve party and needed for it to work, no time to return.
I once again pulled the PRV and this time I used some keg lube to coat the gasket. After reinstalling it still leaked a bit but not as badly. I pulled the relief many times giving it a 1/4 turn before letting it snap back in. Finally it looked like the issue was solved. But..
I found that during the evening, passing by the Co2 cylinder, it was hissing ever so slightly. I guess I didn't fix it. So for the rest of the evening, I would tap the keg and pull a pitcher off and then untap. I would lose an entire bottle of Co2 if I left it on the whole night.
This was the 3rd defective product I received from Kegco, and I'm sorry, but you lost a customer for good.
Returning...
Amazon rejected my review saying "Your claim the product is not authentic has been reviewed and found it to be authentic".
Bull Stuff!!!!!!! where in my review do I claim the product is not authentic???
Amazon does this for some vendors to keep the negative reviews down thus selling more product.
I reposted the review adding the below to the beginning:
First - To Amazon, you took down my first review for the reason of "disputed authenticity", and after researching said the product was in fact authentic. My review below is the same as the first and it has nothing to do with authenticity. Do not pull this review just because it may "hurt" the seller, you said in your rejection letter that you want the reviews to be fair, well here it is...
And you guessed it, rejected again on condition of authenticity!!!! WTF!!! I guess they are protecting the vendor and themselves!
I'm ticked off so badly right now.
Ok, enough!
Don't trust Amazon reviews!!!
