Hello there, first post yet long time lurker of these forums...
So I made the dive into kegging with a dual keg/reg kit from keg connection. I have no complaints other than one of the posts seems to have a hit mark and oring damage. I know KC sells the kegs as 'used' but this damage will actually cause it to not hold pressure if the valve does not seat correctly - which goes against their term of 'these tanks hold pressure'
For example: I can pressurize the tank, remove the gas line and all will be fine. If i press down on the valve (i have ball locks) i can get some gas to come out. When I release my finger I can still hear a slight hiss and this will continue until the keg is empty. I have also recently found out that I can get a leak if the gas IN line is wiggled - which has me concerned with a leak that can result in an empty tank!
I have attached photos.
Hmm.. cant figure out how to attach...

Is it typical to see this type of damage on KC ball lock kegs?
Should this warrant a complaint/return?
Thanks in advance
