Problems with mini kegs (growler style)

[Dexter101]

Hi guys, my disconnects seem to be hitting each other on the mini keg... any ideas?

A photograph of the problem would probably help.

Sorry, was getting irritated by it!

Photo shows the gas disconnect and as you can probably see, theres no room next to it for the liquid one...

Hmmm.

The "bodger" in me thinks:

1. "Saw off a 'flat' on both connections so that the collars don't touch?"
2. "Move the connections around so that the tiny PSV is on the top and the CO2 and Delivery Spigots are opposite each other?"
3. "Raise the Delivery Spigot out of the way?"

... and then I ran out of ideas! Sorry.

Hi Dexter. I had a similar issue. Basically as Dutto suggests the easiest bit is to shave off a bit of the collar of either disconnect.

If it is anything like mine, Duttos second idea won't work as it is built into the mechanism of the cap itself.

Thanks guys, guess the hsckaaw will comeout tomorrow then. Was worrying with it being under pressure whether this would be ok but happy other people came to same conclusion
