After hooking up my gas lines for the first time after moving, I lost what was left in my CO2 tank overnight. The only valves that were open were the main valve on the tank and the valve on the regulator, the latter I suspect as the leak. It looks to me like the connection between the gas line and the regulator is bare metal on metal which isn’t normally good. See attached photos.
Should there be Teflon tape on this connection? Is there normally an o-ring in there that I’ve lost?
I’ve dispensed out of the same setup for like 2 years, so maybe when I hooked it back up after the move, something went wrong. I’d do a leak test If I had any gas left...
Thanks for your input.
