Before you buy anything, confirm that you know what pieces are damaged. Might be able to trim the stainless tubing and stick the beer tubing over the end.

Downs · Post by **Downs** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 4:20 pm

yeah im not buying anything yet
at all

the shanks look unique if that is what the problem is
i may be fucked
problem is i dont know how/if i can get the big pipes apart
i may have to bite the bullet and pay someone

What exactly is leaking? Can you post pics?

Downs · Post by **Downs** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 4:45 pm

ok so here is a pic of the pipe that holds the 4 taps
when the are on beer runs fine
when they are off
beer comes out of this screw hole
i cant seem to pull these apart to look at the insides

Post by **mr x** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 5:11 pm

Can you isolate the problem to one line?

It came from me. I will ccontact Mike and we will work something out. I only cleanet the taps not the lines.

I donr want to see anyone screwed especially from me.

I tried to isolate it to one line, thinking that it was maybe one shank.
They all seem to do it though.
Again can't see what is inside to know exactly how hey even work

Mike

Option 1 I'll give your money back.
Option2 I'll pay 1/2 the fix cost (with in reason of corse)
Option 3 We can work something else out.

No worries Sandy, I know you are a good guy.
Just tryin to get it working and avoid any of that other bs.

but it might be an outside job
im going to call bevtech in the am see what they thing

Post by **mr x** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 6:10 pm

Every one of them leaks? That sounds weird....are all the faucet o-rings there?

Downs · Post by **Downs** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 6:19 pm

i know right
it doesnt make sense that they all would leak

so i can take the tap off
that is it
can't get any further then that into the shank
with the know how and tools i have here
so if there is an oring missing between shank and nipple i cant see

Post by **mr x** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 6:24 pm

There should be a black 'squared' o-ring where the faucet mates to the shank. You should be able to see that one.

Downs · Post by **Downs** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 6:51 pm

managed to get the shanks off as well now
here is one disassembled
seems to have the orings present

Post by **mr x** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 6:54 pm

yeah, don't know what to say...

Downs · Post by **Downs** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 7:03 pm

no i appreciate it

going to try washer's between the shanks and the stainless housing
i used to have to put a washer between my shank and the nut on my old keezer
so maybe that will work
going to try one line at a time
leave the other taps off
see if i can see where liquid is moving from/to

Downs · Post by **Downs** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 9:07 pm

it's something on the inside for sure
tried one line
beer somes from no where but those screw holes on each end
when the tap is off
so something inside the pipe
has a leak
no matter what tap i use
implying that maybe all the lines were cut? or something
i need to see inside there i guess

Post by **mr x** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 9:37 pm

I wonder if the tower possibly froze at one time.....

Downs · Post by **Downs** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 10:00 pm

never know i guess
I've had it inside since i got it
i dont know, not much i can do at this point
see if i can get a quote from a professional to look at it

Downs · Post by **Downs** » Mon Jan 21, 2013 3:39 pm

have sent pics to Jason at Bevtech
he says its either a washer
or if the lines are pierced on the inside
its not fixable
here's to hoping its a washer

Post by **mr x** » Mon Jan 21, 2013 4:20 pm

Still fixable maybe...you may have to cut out the back of the tower though, so.....
