    I recently up graded my picnic faucets to prelick 525pc's. I have one faucet that seals well, but in the closed position, the handle is slightly more forward or neutral than the other one. It also seems to have some springiness if I push in farther closed.

    Is this normal? Thanks

    What happens if you push back on the handle? it almost sounds like you were shipped a 575 creamer faucet by mistake.

    Nothing happens. It just pops back forward then released. I'm pretty sure it's not a creamer.

    I don't have that model Perlick, however did you take it apart and make sure everything was correctly seated? Then put it back together and see if it works better.

    Just checking, I have both and there are differences. samc is most likely correct then about it being an incorrectly seated O-ring. If it is sealing now, I would just disassemble it and compare the guts if possible, when the current keg kicks. Possible, though not likely, that you got one with the wrong seals. A carefull check and reassembly should take care of it otherwise.
