2.5 gallon corny post size?

(1/1)

gimmeales:
Hey all, I have a beautiful little 2.5 gallon corny that I'd love to put beer in. Unfortunately, none of my liquid disconnects fit the OUT posts (have several other 5 gall cornies). I've heard some just take a little more effort to pop on that others, but even with keg lube on the o-ring and using all my weight, it will not pop on - afraid I'm going to break it.

Are there different sized posts that I need a different disconnect for, or do I just need to use a mallet to pound the thing on? ;)

Cheers!

Will a gas disconnect fit?
Will the beer disconnect fit on the other side?

gimmeales:
you're on the right track, Tom!  Don't know why it never ocurred to me to try swapping the gas\liquid connectors.  Sure enough, the posts were switched by the previous owner!  So, a quick swap and everything's right again.

Let me serve as a cautionary tale for any lacking common sense  :-[

tom:
 ;)  Been there, done that.

I bought a 2.5 gal corny that had 2 gas posts on them. Check to make sure your not trying to put a black liquid out on to a gas post.
