I just put back my Brewtus II that I am rehabbing/rebuilding after it sat for ~2 years (long story).
Anyhow, after turning it on for the first time it began to leak at the brew boiler return line fitting. This is the fitting on the bottom of the brew boiler that runs between it and the group head. Please see attached pictures to see the fitting in question. After I realized the leak was coming from that fitting, I removed the nut, re-taped it, and reattached it. It still leaked upon restart. It appears that the issue is that the pressure fitting (I don't know if that is the accurate term for this fitting) is not seating properly on the male threaded fitting. The leak is coming from the inside of the nut, not from the threaded opening. So I assume that means that the tapered end is not seating properly on the male threaded fitting and since the threaded part is tight/sealed it is working its way back out via the nut. Please see the attached pics showing the fitting. Have any of you experienced this issue before? Is it possible that the pipe is not positioned correctly and so is getting compressed at a wrong angle/position? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
