I've always suspected I had a slow leak in my three way distributor, and am between brews right now, so figured now would be a good time to take it apart.
I just replaced all the teflon tape on all 5 connections, pressurized it to 15 psi, submerged in a big bowl of water, and three out of the five connections are bubbling. If anything it is probably losing pressure considerably faster than before. Everything is on the upper end of "hand tight".
Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
I see that the threading in the block itself is pretty rough and might be the issue.
Is there a brand of distributor blocks out there that is really good?
Anything else I should try first?
Thanks
