Hey all..
Question for the leak experts out there.. I'm in the process of changing over connection systems.. Swapping over from pin lock to ball lock for a few reasons.. In any event, I"ve dealt with my fair share of leaks and emptied CO2 cylinders in the past and I"m going through everything VERY methodically to make sure I have no leaks.. Regulator (Taprite dual regulator) is holding pressure for days with outflow valves closed.. Today I swapped the gas connectors from my old pin lock to flair type ball locks.. set 30 PSI on each side and shut gas off with outflow valves open.. One side is holding pressure perfectly however, the other side seems to have a very slow gas leak coming from inside the ball lock connector either where the actual pin is inside the connector, or one of the 4 little balls.. This is occuring with the ball lock disconnected from a keg.. Wondering if this is normal and the post/ O Ring on the post will seal that, or if I have a bum ball lock? Tired of dumping CO2!
Thanks for any input!
Cheers all..
John
