Default CO2 Leak
I've found a CO2 leak between the gas hose connector and the Keg Coupler. What's the best way to fix this? Is there a washer/gasket in there that needs to be replaced?

Do you have idea as to the manufacturer of the coupler? If so, either a simple washer is required or possibly the one way Thomas valve is missing and needs replacement. Should not be very difficult to repair.

i bought the Standard conversion kit from Micromatic. I'm not sure who the manufacturer is off the top of my head (American Sankey maybe). I don't remember seeing a washer between the gas line coupler and the keg coupler. Maybe it fell out while I was disassembling it to clean the keg coupler. Can I pick one up at any hardware store?

Check out this link - http://www.micromatic.com/draft-keg-...pid-RK-SU.html. Is it this coupler in the graphic? If so, you need to call customer service (866 327-4159) and order a replacement "Thomas valve" for this coupler. Indicate that you need a valve for the "D" style coupler.

Actually I had lost the check valve. I ordered/replaced it. Now it's working. Thanks.
