I believe that's a keg king manifold so I'd imagine so. I've bought from that seller before no problems.

You may want to search this forum. If you are up for a few 50/50% loss gas bottles then get one.

What do you mean exactly?

"search this forum" there are a few leaking co2 threads on here

50/50 sounds about right. I bought 2 (not from this seller). One is fine the other leaks like a sieve. I contacted the seller and apparently it's a well known fault with these manifolds.

OK, so can someone recommend a quality manifold? I'm currently looking to buy a couple 2-way ones.

I found this thread; http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/84507-kegging-setup-co2-leak-driving-me-insane/page-2?hl=+leaking%20+co2%20+threads

And it just seems that the fittings needed to be re-sealed,, no biggy really..

I think the older Keg King manifolds had a few issues but my 6 way from them is as solid as a rock. ( purchased this year )
No leaks whatsoever.

Hey guys I want to use some loctite to reseal all the ball valves on my 4 way manifold. I also have a 2 way that I will join up to the 4 way.
What is the best loctite for the manifold?
Cheers

Was thinking this one

Use a removable Loctite product rather than a permanent one. I was going to do this with my leaky 4 way one but was told by the seller that it probably wouldn't fix it as the ball valves themselves leak, not just the threads. They replaced it with a 6 way which I'm still to install. In any case the Loctite is worth a go. Once you do that I would test in a bucket of water but you need to test with the gas taps in both closed and opened position which means adding some gas line and connects.

That should be fine. Removable with normal hand tools.

Thanks Earl.
I have had it in a bucket all day finding leaks, I have one ball valve leaking from the thread very slowly.
I also have one leaking from the Barb as I have scratched the Barb when cutting the gas line off, must have had a few that day!

Wouldn't risk a non-food safe type myself. I used http://www.loctite.com.au/3320_AUE_HTML.htm?nodeid=8802651570177

Looks the goods where did it come from ?

Bought my manifold from Cheeky Peak. Worked no problems straight off the bat. Looks very similar as the first post. I suspect they are all made in the same factory, hit and miss whether they seal or not.

 

[nosco]

Had my 4 way for 2ish years. None of the taps leak except for 1 which only leaks when its turned on so not a re sealing issue. Dodgey ball valve/tap

 

[Eagleburger]

Thats a five way. This is a 4-way.

been using one for a year with goo result.

 

[MastersBrewery]

my 4 way went to crap so I spent the money and got one in from the states from Kegconnection.com, striping the fridge out today I'll let you know when I eventually rebuild, prolly a keezer this time.

Blackwoods (https://www.blackwoods.com.au/part/00076721/sealant-pipe-hp-loctite-57719259-50ml), or Gameco probably stock it as well!
