Quick Q, does anyone know if it's OK to use O-rings for the dip-tubes in the corny kegs? The ones that are in all my kegs are square, and buggered if i can find some the right size. O-rings though are easy to source..

Grain & Grape supply 'o' rings with their kegs to replace the originals. You sometimes need a couple though.jgriffin said:Sure, but why pay $1 a seal when a 5c one will do the same job?

By all means give it a go but be aware that they may leak so don't leave you're gas bottle connected for long periods of time or overnight just incase.
If you can find them the $1 cost isn't much....considering mine are over 5 years old and still going no problems, but if you're in a tight spot why not try the o-rings.
If you still can't find any I can ask at my HB club meeting Thursday if you want, see what I can turn up.

Have you had any leaks attributable to o-rings?Batz said:I use the correct seals , they are a sqare section 'o' ring
Use a plain 'o' ring and save $1.00 , then loose $30.00 worth of co2....bargin
