what to do with corny that won't hold pressure

[Paulinuke]

I have a pin lock keg that won't hold pressure. It leaks at the bottom of the threads where the post screw on. Is there anything else this keg might be good for? Paul

Leaks through the threads? Are you using any Teflon tape? 5 wraps would probably solve that in a second.

Agree with above. Try that first. Don't count the little guy out yet.

 

[Paulinuke]

I should have been more clear. It doesn't leak from the threads, it leaks from the bottom of the threaded post that the gas in post screws on to. Does that make sense?

 

[Chris_Dog]

Keg lube might work for that too.

<EDIT> Might need welding for that.

 

[ShortSnoutBrewing]

Oh, so you're talking about where the post actually attaches to the body?

 

[Bobby_M]

Sounds like a pinhole in the stainless. JBweld.

If you don't feel like trying to fix the keg, you can always use it to store Star-San.

I noticed one of mine looked like it was leaking right below the threads where they disappeared into the rubber. They were used kegs and I didn't have new orings yet. I replaced them Sunday and it solved the problem. It was the oring that that goes under the dip tube that was bad. I swore it was leaking from somewhere else but the oring was the culprit.
