Taps come on too easily

[hoppymonkey]

Sweet!! Just put in the first two taps of my soon to be 4 tap kegerator, but I am having a minor issue. I can fart( or lightly bump the fridge) on the taps and they shoot out beer. Anyone have any quick tips for stiffening them up a bit?

Tightening the screw on top that holds the handle/ball joint to the body of the tap does it for me.

what kind of taps?

I have the same problem, my taps also come on too easily...fortunately this happens more often on the weekend.

They are like the SS bar faucets. They were orginally miller light and Dos XX taps.

As the second poster said, tighten the valve packing nut on the top of the faucet, it is the one that the handle post sticks out of.

Thanks guys! That worked.
