What is the deal with keg lid feet?

So, apparently they are no longer available? I have not checked everywhere but some places say they are discontinued and others say they have been out of stock for about a year.

Are they necessary to get a good seal? I have one keg that is missing one. The little gray plastic feet on the bales of the corny keg lid. Does the lid not seat as well without them? Would I be better off removing the one that is there for equal pressure?


Am I keg newb or what?

One of my lids is missing the little rubber feet and it still works fine once I put pressure in the keg.

Morebeer stocks them. Check it out.

so it is missing both then? That was my thought, remove the one still there and have equal pressure...

FWIW, I have one that's missing a single foot. It works just fine.

I just jam a dime underneath the missing foot. After pressurizing, I don't think they matter anyway.
