Kegmenter triclamp

[rude]

Made up a kegmenter with a bigger hole

I can't hold pressure can hear gas leaking from my triclamp

Not sure if I have the right clamp ?

Looks awesome!

Have you tried a little keg lube? And or perhaps a different gasket?

what size TC is it?

 

[sp0rk]

have you tried nipping up the tightener with a pair of pliers?

Looks the right size. Spray some star san or something bubbly on it and try to work out where the leak is coming from.

6" triclamp

Yes tightened right up

Will try some keg lube

Will hunt down another gasket

Cheers for suggestions

does your gasket have a raised lip on the sides as most do? looks like it does from the pic.

if it does get a razor and trim it off then it should seal ok

 

[rude]

It does but that bit fits into the groove on the end cap & the other side into the groove on the ferrule

That's cool rude.
I hope some lube fixes it for you.
Did you make or buy the lid and where did you source the clamp mate.

Looks like a teflon gasket, why don't you try a silicon one as they are more squishy and will seal better.

[rude]

Run a straight edge across the triclover blank in a few spots, check for heat distortion from the welding. I'd check especially across the outside of each pairing of the three fittings in an equilateral triangle.

Thought of that but didn't do it will do it now though thanks

Is the gasket rigid? If so its teflon and likely wont seal well. EPDM seals are chesp and will seal better. Silicone is good too but more exy.
