Hello everyone and happy almost weekend. I have a leak somewhere in my 8 tap system. I use pin lock fittings (researching switching to ball lock) I have gone through and done all the initial tests (sprayed foaming agent each connect) and have found nothing. Since then I have done the following:
1) Pressurized system to 10PSI.
2) Closed valve from regulator going to my manifold.
3) Turned off CO2 tank at the tank.
4) Checked after 30+ min. Regulator held the 10PSI pressure.
5) I eliminated regulator as a suspect in the leak.
So I moved on and did the following to all 8 lines in the manifold:
1) Turned off all 8 valves in manifold. Valve from regulator to manifold is open.
2) Pressurized system to 10PSI.
3) Open valve #1 in manifold. Waited for pressure to settle for that keg/valve.
4) Turned off CO2 at the tank.
5) Checked back 30 min+. If PSI was still at 10 I moved on.
6) I continued this until I hit valve #4. After a few hours the PSI dropped to about 5PSI. I sprayed everywhere and got no bubbles. I still feel a leak is present here.
7) A few other valves PSI dropped slightly after a few hours.
So through this tedious process I am a bit frustrated. What is everyone's thoughts, experiences, suggestions on what I am doing?
I thank everyone in advance. Very much appreciated.
