Pin lock kegs

[madhatter63]

Dumb question but anyway, I have a new fitting but it's for the 3 pin liquid side and i wanted it for the gas side. I swapped the 3 pin and 2 pin so gas went in through the new fitting. I basically just switched the long dispensing tube and short gas tube inside the keg... Is this acceptable? I really don't see any issues. But new to kegging

Not hip to pin locks..........Have you leak tested it?

Did it all screw together, with no interference?

It should be fine as long as you don't forget which is which on that keg. That would be tragic.

Seemed fine... I did have an issue with dispensing pressure building very high with adjustment turned all the way down, and valve to keg off, but i am certain its a separate issue, possibly a defective regulator.

So, I shut down my fridge for the winter, brought my regulator and bottle in the house, and since I suspect an issue with it, I opened bottle and the dispensing pressure went straight up until relief valve popped open. the adjustment screw was turned all the way back. I closed the bottle off and gauge pressure continued to climb after each time I relieved the pressure until gas was gone. something is amiss I believe... Any thoughts?
