I picked up a cooler conversion kit for my 10 gallon rubbermaid beverage cooler (orange with molded handels) from Northern Brewer, Followed instructions... but I have a leak from between cooler and valve.
Any one else have a trickle on this set up?
Any suggestions on additional gaskets, positioning of parts or adding substituting original inside gasket. I still have the original gasket from inside cooler factory spout. It looks slightly larger than the small gasket supplied.
Here is link to item and instructions are on the same page:

I'll be starting a CPVC manifold soon but want to get a tight seal first. I will be doing a BIAB in the pot or a modified BIAB batch sparge in this cooler this weekend (depending on if I can get this leak under control quickly and easily.) so I'm not in a rush for the manifold, just leak control.
thanks in advance!
