I recently purchased a weldless dip tube from norcal/jaybird bottom. I am getting around to assembling my keggle and am having a difficult time, the kit I was sent includes one each of the following:
False bottom and stand
Dip tube
Compression fitting
Coupling
1/2x1 1/2 nipple
Lock nut
Washer
Silicone O ring
Ball valve
When assembled,there is no way to tighten the coupling or the lock nut down enough if the lock nut is put on the ball valve side of the nipple, and there isn't enough thread length to attach the coupling if the lock nut is placed on the keggle side of the nipple. should I have received a close nipple (kind with no smooth part in the center, threads all the way along like this)
instead of the nipple I did get? (It doesn't matter if I put the washer and O ring on the inside or outside of the keggle, the same set of problems exists with either configuration) Or am I somehow assembling this wrong?
