Hey guys and gals. I'm new to kegging so I am confused, annoyed and aggravated. I had a temporary picnic tap set up on a *brand new keg*, came home from work and there were 2 pints spilled on the keezer floor..I swap it out thinking I had a faulty QD. The new one flows pretty well (too long of line, easy fix..I'm happy). I come back an hour later to take a picture for a buddy of mine and its leaking in the same spot as it was on what I thought was a bad QD.
All keg posts are lubed (and brand new so I'm *assuming* gaskets are good..?)
It does not leak a drop when there isn't a QD on there so it isn't a poppet/gasket/improperly tightened.
The leak is not from where the barbed post is inserted into the tubing so I do not suspect the screw-type hose clamps vs. cinch clamps being the issue.
What are the odds I have 2 cheap/faulty QDs? Am I doing something wrong or just overlooking something stupid?
Pictures attached are a picture of the innards and a close up of the leak coming from the QD.
thanks for any and all suggestions, tips, advice, solutions. This project has been delayed for 7 months and I just want my new toy to work! Thanks again and sorry for the rambling. Cheers!
