Ok, so I just finished putting together the kegerator. First off, I got a kegging system from kegconnection. It came with the co2 cylinder, corny, regulator, gas hose/disconnect and a beer hose/disconnect with a picnic tap. I wanted to build a tap tower out of PVC, so I got a perlick faucet along with it. When I got everything in, I noticed 2 things.
First, the beer hose is only about 5 feet long (is this ok for dispensing out of a tower??).
Second, I forgot to buy a shank (doh). I went to Keg Cowboy after work to get an elbow shank, unfortunately they didn't have any. However, they did put together an "equivalent' elbow shank and sold it to me for 15 bucks. I went home and installed everything, made all the connections and thought, alright time to leak test this thing. I filled the corny with water and put some co2 on it when all of a sudden water starts pouring out of the weep holes on the coupling nut that attaches to the perlick. I turned off the co2 and relieved the pressure, disconnected the faucet, scratched my head, reinstalled it, same thing. What am I doing wrong??? Am I missing anything?? My only leak that i can see is at this connection. HELP!!
