Kegerator Forum: Leaky Problem

Posted:  13 Apr 2008 15:56
I've had my kegerator for about 3 years now. I just changed the keg, cleaned
the lines as I always do. One I reconnected everything, I have a leak at the
point in the tower where the beer line connects into the tap. There is a
narrow copper tube that is fixed into the food grade plastic on one end (no
leak there), and on the other it fits into the coupling that sticks out
through the tower to connect the tap. It looks to me as if there is a gray
bushing between those copper parts, and it is leaking there. I cannot
separate those 2 pieces, I did disconnect the tap and also pulled it from
the clear beer line. My best bet may be to replace the entire line, but I do
not see anywhere online that coupling where the beerline meets with that
small bent copper tube, which is all one part for the coupling that the tap
connects to. A lot of words trying to describe that damned copper coupling
between the tap and clear beer line!!! Please help, I am stumped as to where
I can get help.
