Kegerator Forum: Coupler question

Posted:  09 Nov 2009 18:51
I was cleaning the beer line and coupler.  I found 3 parts in the bucket after finishing.  A black rubber washer, a plastic part and a ball.  I put the ball in the coupler and put in the plastic part, placed the rubber washer and screwed the beer line back on.  Now I am having flow problems.  Did I replace the parts back the right way??  Please help. My husband is in Afghanistan so he is no help.
Thanks,

Okay, I think I put it back together right but now I have no flow.  Any suggestions??

I untapped and the flow ball was stuck, unstuck and the beer is flowing nicely.  Thanks for you help.

What purpose does item #10 serve?  When I had it in there was NO flow.  I removed it and replaced it with a washer.  Now I get intermittent foam flowing but no beer.  Also I can hear bubbling in the keg.
