Leak from Pin Lock Poppet

[Kickass]

Testing my “new” (beat to hell pin lock keg) and when I remove the gas connection I have a small leak from the center of the poppet. Its so small that I can only see it when I removed the gas and do a soap bubble test.

My question: with the gas connection on, this should be a non factor, right? After all, gas needs to flow through there and should be contained within the connection, via the gasket on the post itself.

Am I looking at this logically?

i'd replace the poppet....might have to trim a universal, to fit....

Yes, on all counts, you are correct...

Cheers!

You can place a dab of keg lube on the poppet had and that should seal the leak and not affect your beer.
