Leaky tap

Hi all,

I just received my new font and tap setup and I think one of the taps isn't sealing properly. Here is the tap that I got:

With the tap fully closed, I am still able to blow air from the inlet and have it come out the tap. It is only slight, but I'm sure it will be enough to make a mess once installed. Is anyone familiar with these taps? If so, are the seals adjustable?

Cheers,

Tim

Are the taps new or 2nd hand?

There are a few seals (O-rings) between the font and the tap that should be replaced if its 2nd hand. I also had a leak when i first installed my taps but i discovered that after i connected the beer. I got showered with a fine mist of beer......

They are new.

I pulled them apart and the seals look new - maybe the seal is too thin or something. I might see if I can get it off and replace it.
