Welding a leaky keg seam

[gezzanet]

One of my 9.5 l keg king kegs has sprung a pin hole leak at the seam. Anybody got the gear or have any contacts around newcastle to repair the pin hole? Thinking weld or braze. Would be a shame to turf a newish keg.

Warranty?

Get someone to Tig weld it.

Yep, if it's not under warranty a purge TIG weld would be the go - redo the whole seam of course.
Assuming you can get someone to do it at a reasonable cost.
I used to use a guy in Moorabbin who was happy to do odd welding jobs for beer but he's not there anymore.

Thanks guys. I’ll see how I go with a warranty job. Cheers gez

ironically this is exactly the type of manufacturing defect that iso 9001 accreditation is supposed to eliminate!

I don't think the accreditation improves the quality it just means they can find someone to blame

JB weld is meant to be food safe, you could put a blob on the inside.......worth a try

Stop making sense.

Just some feedback on where I got to with this.
A lot of run around trying to chase purchase info and contacting supplier and Keg King
Keg King came through with a replacement warranty job on the keg so all good
Big thumbs up for keg king and Kane for working through this.
+ 1 keg king
