Hi Guys,
Recently bought a couple of perlicks for the kegerator. Got them connected up, fark me they pull a great beer. The problem is that I am getting a leak out of the nut that connects the barb to the shank. I bought the lot from brauman59 as per other AHB members recommendation, so I'm not sure why it's occurring.
From looking at the barb and O ring, there is a 2-3mm lip where the O ring sits behind it. As a result, the O ring cannot but up against the shank thereby creating a seal. My diagram below illustrates the concept.
Can anyone please provide insight into what I am doing incorrectly?
Cheers,
Clint
