Are your kegs and corny keg the same, or at least have compatible accessories?

 

[lofty64]

The Corny kegs have the same gas , and beer fittings as the Rheem coca cola kegs , its just the release valve is different , and Centre filler is a screw in on the Rheem , I will try and put some pics up CHEERS

 

[lofty64]

Ok so here are the Rheem , Coca Cola kegs .

 

[Hermies]

Go to an Auto shop with the lid. It looks like an O ring they will be able to help you out.

 

[AHB_Admin]

Thanks for those pics. I agree with @Hermies about the O ring. Have you tried to search for an 'O-ring store' online?

 

[lofty64]

Not yet but I will let you know if I find some , as it might help others if they come across these kegs .

 

[lofty64]

Thanks Hermies, I went to a Auto shop and bingo , found the seals for the screw in lid , so all good , just wondering when I put all new o rings in , how much pressure , as in gas should I put in the keg to leak test , sorry am new at this so have no idea , what psi or how much to put in , any help be great CHEERS
