washer for beer line

[cd2448]

so i go to set up my 2-tap kegerator kit last night and i've managed to lose one of the little washers that was in the beer line connection to the shank. can i replace with something from home depot? i'll have another hunt around tonight but i think it's a goner. stupid, i know.

Is it one of those hard plastic washers that go into the MFL connector?

Or, one of these shank washers:

It's the washer out of the bit that screws onto the end of the shank to connect to the faucet.

Or is it the one between the tailpiece and the shank?

 

[cd2448]

I'm thinking tail piece and shank. It's smallish, hard plastic with flat top/bottom

I'm thinking a garden hose washer might be about the same size. Alternatively cut a disc from the flat bottom of one of those cheap Tupperware containers and cut a hole inside it. That is what I'm currently using on my co2 regulator

right, bit of improvisation needed rather than another wait for USPS? i want to get the second tap set up and a keg in there tonight. like everyone who finally goes to kegging, i'm like "why didn't i do this ages ago?"

Well, if you are just getting the keg in and it's going to need some time to carb you wouldn't even have to hook up the liquid side yet so you could wait. If it is already carbonated and you want to dispense tonight then yeah, channel your inner MacGyver and cobble something up.
