Over the weekend, I took a corny keg (pin lock) to a family gathering. When I tried to put the liquid disconnect on, it wouldn't go down very easily. I proceeded to push on it pretty hard (terrible idea, right?), and the pin in the disconnect bent. I tried bending the plastic pin back, but it broke off. I was then able to put the disconnect on and beer flowed through the line (I guess enough of the pin was left on to still depress the poppet a little).
Do you guys have any idea what went wrong? Anything I can do (other than not press so hard as to bend the pin) that I can do in the future to prevent this?
I left the keg I used ~2 hours away at my parents house, so there isn't an easy way to trouble shoot that. I took the disconnect with me though.
I would like to figure this out in the next couple of days, because they expect me to bring up another keg for additional celebrations.
