Hi!
Hoping you can help give me some ideas. Here's my situation:
We use Miller kegs. I know the "D" coupler is supposed to be used with them.
The couplers we have work ok on the kegs. The problem I am having is with the cleaning bottles! Although the bottles are Micromatic and they supposedly work with both "D" and "S" couplers, I can not keep pressure to them when connecting with the NEW couplers I have. (I am pretty sure I have "D" couplers, but I will verify.) I have tried everything I can think of, even pushing the little metal pins in the cleaning bottle caps back in to tighten the 'lock-in' when I attach the couplers.
It should be noted that this problem started becoming troublesome on lines that are 'long lines'. I really had not had difficulty using the bottles when cleaning 'under the counter' systems and I have not had any previous trouble cleaning this particular 'long line' system. But I have a 10-line 'long line' and I cannot clean 5 of the lines now, because I cannot get/keep pressure to the bottles.
The only thing I can think of that might help is to get some kind of washer/gasket for the cleaning bottle caps. But I cannot find that any are available anywhere.
The bottles are not that old, so I doubt that new bottles would be called for.
Does anyone have any ideas on something that works, or someway to make this work?
