Leaking / Losing CO2
There are several places where the unit can leak CO2. Any of the connections from the
cylinder to the coupler, and the coupler itself can potentially lose air. Sometimes the source of
the leak will be obvious, with air hissing out. Sometimes it needs to be identified by either
feeling around for the air, or spraying soapy water on the parts to look for bubbles.
First thing is to find the leak. As mentioned, if it isn’t apparent, spraying soapy water
around connection points and pressure release should identify where the leak is.
If air is leaking from the connection between the CO2
cylinder and the regulator, make sure that the washer
is in place and that the connection is tight. A wrench
should be used to properly tighten this connection.
If the leak is coming from any of the connections, where a hose connects to the regulator
or coupler, make sure that there is a washer in place. The keg cooler comes with all the
washers already in, however they can fall out, and air will leak if they are not in place.
If the Coupler (Tapper) is leaking, and it isn’t from where
the red hose attaches, then the leak is most likely coming
from the pressure release valve. Sometimes, the O-ring in
the valve is out of place, and can be reseated just by pulling
the valve out and releasing the valve. If this does not solve
the issue, the coupler may need to be replaced.
Ask what kind of beer customer is using. If it is European (ie: Heineken, Amstel, etc), then the
problem is that the Couplers Probe won’t reach all the way into the Keg. If this is the case,
customer needs to obtain a European Sankey Coupler (Style G, A, or U, see distributor or contact
brewer for info).
