I've been trying to hunt down a leak that ranges from very slight to where did all my CO2 go?! I have a 2-way primary regulator and a 3-way secondary regulator for 4 kegs. I tried using a Starsan solution sprayed on everything, no bubbles. Tried dish soap, no bubbles. :smack:
Today I took everything out, determined to figure out what was going on. As it turns out, the leak was inside of one of the secondary Taprite regulators. There is a tube bent into an arc that flexes with pressure. The base of this tube was not properly soldered into the base fitting. This caused a tiny leak that was only detectable when the pressure was increased to 50 psi, the gauge cover off and my ear up to the gauge. I could hear it and had to disassemble the gauge to figure it out. Re-soldered the connection... No more leaky gauge.
