Leaky Faucet

[VV_Wildcatfan]

Total nube question but here it goes;

SWMBO got me a kegging kit for Christmas from Keg Connection. It came with the CMB V3S taps which they recommended. However I'm pouring my first pints after building my keezer and I'm getting a leak right by the tap handle.

Can someone let me know what's causing this and how to fix it? Your advice will be much appreciated!!

That's the bonnet. There's orings in there. Might take it apart and have a looksee. I'm not familiar with that tap, but generally speaking leaks are due to orings being messed up somehow.

With the manufacturer and model number in hand a rebuild kit should be obtainable...

With a new system from a reputable vendor (kegconnection is certainly reputable) a replacement should also be obtainable

Make sure the nut is snug (but not too snug) and if that doesn't fix it give kegconnection a call.
