New Ball Lock Keg - Connection Question

[sch21c]

So just got my kegerator. I've got the ball lock connectors on it. When I hook it up to a keg, the connections don't seem tight. And on at least one of the kegs, if you wiggle the gas connector, you can hear some gas coming out. I'm thinking that isn't good.

The kegs are new strap handle kegs, and the connectors are new connectors.

Is this a common issue, or is there a problem with the kegs and/or connectors?

I'm having the same problem. I hear a slow leak coming from the gas post, but only when the c02 is connected. You can try some keg lube, but that didn't work for me. Are your O-Rings new?

Sounds like you folks have kegs with under-sized post O-rings. Might want to give this thread a visit...

Cheers!

The kegs are brand new. I didn't get any keg lube, but will pick some up from my lhbs this weekend and try that.

Thanks. Thought that might be the case. Will take a look.

Ordered some O-rings listed in the post. Thanks for pointing me to that.
