This is completely ridiculous. Building a keggle. I bought the weldless fitting from weldlessfittings.com.
We were very careful. Our hole is perfect. Right at 13/16th's. Worked on it all afternoon. Leaks!
Needless to say I've been pissed. I said 10 times, "should have just had it welded."
The only thing I can think is the midpoint of the nipple is bigger than the threads. Our midpoint gets put on one side of the keg wall or the other. This makes adjusting it INSANE!
If you put the midpoint of the nipple to the inside.......the coupling won't screw all the way to the midpoint of the nipple, PERIOD!
Almost seems like it's machined incorrectly. Is this normal?
Could our hole be too small?
Should the nipple pass freely through the hole?
My partner seems to think that the HUGE o-rings are to blame. We didn't get to mess with it a ton because it was getting dark. We are very competent do-it-your-selfers. Suggestions? Thank you!
Putting this in both threads. Thanks.
