Title: Leaking keg valve
Post by: aweisse on December 24, 2015, 11:37:11 AM
I have a 50L keg with a U system keg valve (bought the keg for fiver from a scrap yard). My problem is that the valve is faulty as it leaks gas pressure. Is there a way of replaceing the valve (can they be bought). Its water tight, but any pressure leaks out the valve.

Any recommendations?

And that's why it was a fiver
What do you intend doing with it? Cornys much more user friendly for Homebrewers

Just remove the cap and spear and use a rubber bung and bubbler or a condom to measure actlivity

Sorry meant to say a pin prick in the condom will be enough to allow it to vent but not compromise the co2 space.
Just remember to use it the for that purpose only
