I've been kegging a while now. I know the ropes and such. But I did some cleaning/routine maintenance to my keezer over the weekend; cleaned beer lines, kegs, etc. in preparation for upcoming batches, and then yesterday while reconnecting some kegs I noticed a leak on one of my lines where the eva barrier tubing plugs into the duotight tailpiece. Now I might have wiggled the lines around a bit while cleaning so I pulled the line, cut 2" off and re-inserted it. Problem solved. Just now I hooked up a new keg that I had force carbed @ 50psi overnight and then vented all pressure before hooking up the 8psi serving line. Within maybe a minute of connecting the beer line, the liquid line started leaking where the eva barrier inserts into the compression adapter on the beer out disconnect. I quickly disconnected it and bled the line pressure, then left the keg unconnected until I decide what to do next.
I know from a bit of experience with my RO water filter that the little collar that pops out when you insert a line can be secured against leaking caused by accidental bumps with small plastic horseshoe-shaped clips, so do my duo tight fittings need this as well? Will this guard against leaks like this after the lines are jostled? I'm super freaked out now about losing a keg of beer, and if clips aren't the answer then every last piece of duo tight and eva barrier line are going in the trash ASAP. The clips must be cheap AF, I dunno why the fittings wouldn't include a couple, they certainly ain't cheap.
SUPER DISAPPOINTED.
