Slow Leak Thru Purge

[howabouttheiris]

I have purchased several reconditioned soda kegs (old kegs, new gaskets).

One of my lids leaks slowly thru the purge valve. I have cleaned it several times.

Is there any repair that can be done on this assembly? (the casing at the top of the purge valve looks like a plastic nut, just wanted to ask before I twist it off and find I have broken it)

Is there a gasket/spring inside it that can be replaced?

Does anyone sell lids only?

Thanks, as always.

Someone mentioned the other day that many of their pressure relief valves leak and they have replaced them with a combination of an appropriately sized nut and gasket.

There are some vendors that sell lids or pressure relief valves but they are around $10. Not sure which vendors ship to Canada.

I'd contact the vendor whom you purchased the keg from and see if they'll help ya out.

I just bought 3 corny kegs, and one had a leak at the purge valve and a leak at the liquid out (yummy beer on the floor at pressurizing). I contacted the vendor and was quickly offered a replacement.

"Sorry for the inconvenience. We will ship you another lid at no charge."
rec'd in 10 minutes.

Wow, great service. Who was the vendor?
