I have rebuilt my taps twice. I have used #28 & #123 o'rings. #28 are correct, #123 last longer and are 0.03" thicker which does not impede valve action. 1. First step, un-tap the problem keg and release the pressure. 2. Remove the tap handle assembly from the riser. Remember the retaining nut is left hand thread. The shut off spring is under pressure, so be gentle and careful. 3. Remove the plastic handle and chrome handle tension nut. 4. Remove the valve retaining collar. 5. Inspect the o'ring. Both of my orings were installed from the factory with a 1/2 twist that caused them to fail before my first keg was exhausted. 6. Gently wash the nylon shut off surface and the shut off ball. Warm water and gently moving the ball against the nylon is sufficient. 7. Install the new o'ring being careful not to introduce a partial twist. 8. Reinstall the valve retaining collar, I am unsure of correct torque, I use finger tight plus 1/8 turn. 9. Reinstall handle retaining nut and handle. 10. Reinstall valve assembly onto riser. You will need to apply pressure to the shut off spring to engage the collar threads. Re tap your keg and enjoy.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.According to insignia, return the whole thing because they have no clue what size the o-rings in the faucet are. Yes, I'm having the same problem
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Edit, the o'rings can be replace with #28 or #21. Previous answer was a typo as #123. Should read that the #21 is thicker. I get about 2 kegs out of a #28. I'm on my 4th keg using the #21 with no leak in sight
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.First, make sure you closed the tap handle all the way. If it still drips, the tap handle might be too tight. Slowly unscrew the silver snug ring about 1 turn, then re-tighten the tap handle. Page 13 in the user guide.
