Gas In Quick Disconnect Leak or ?

[rice13]

I've gone through about 4-5 kegs on my new Keezer without issue and all of a sudden I am dealing with a leak that has cost me a tank and a half of CO2.

I've tightened all connections and lubed o-rings with no success. The only thing I can think of is that if I press or tap on the gas in connection from the side, I hear gas escaping. This has been like this from the beginning, before I had any issues with leaking.

Does this sound like this could be my problem or is this normal for these disconnects? Is it possible I got faulty disconnects or is it likely that I am way off and need to look for another source of the leak?

Any advice is appreciated - Thanks!

When I can hear gas leaking from the quick disconnects it usually means I needed to replace a gasket on the post. Have you checked your whole system with soapy water? My experience has been to find a big leak, fix it, then find a small one somewhere else.

Thanks for the advice Double D. I changed the O-Rings on the posts and problem seems solved after a week.

I wasn't happy with the disconnect so I got "better" ones and even those leaked when pressed on the side. I replaced the o-rings and no leaks when pressed. Cheap solution and I will be replacing these on a regular basis going forward.
