Italian made keg.AEB. Disconnect issues

[Trent0]

I am having problems getting my beer line disconnect on and off one of my kegs.
The gas connect is fine
But the beer line is really hard to get on and off?
Any ideas/ help most appreciated

chuck a little KY jelly around the seal and it should slide in and out nicely
or if your LHBS sells it, grab a tube of food grade silicone lube

Yep
Im using the food grade lube, but its still really tight
Like damaging the grommet tight

Sounds like you may have the incorrect post on the keg.

Just try clicking the gas disconnect onto the beer out post...if it fits on easy then you have 2 posts that are the same and you will need to change the beer one for the correct one..

Make sure you have let all the gas out of the keg BEFORE trying this as you will fill your regulator with beer if you dont. Just leave the lid off the keg.

the other thing it maybe if it has been OK in the passed but is now hard to get on is a faulty fitting...there are some cheapies on the market that are absolute crap.
I had trouble with one that was white in colour...it went in the bin.
For your info GREY is GAS and BLACK is BEER.
Also make sure that the rubber O ring is the correct one...an o ring that is a bit bigger will cause this problem as well.

It means he has kids and his son/daughter found his phone with AHB open on it.
