    I just bought the last three of my Perlick faucets. I tightened everything up and they pull a little differently than the first three I bought. They seem a little loose and don't want to close up all the way on their own. I push them back into the off position and wonder if this will be an issue when I run liquid through them. Anyone else have a similar experience? I'm definitely testing these with Star San first.

    My Perlicks are always a little looser when not under pressure. I suspect your new ones are fine.

    I ran some Star San through the lines. Bingo! Pressure = more better. :slight_smile:
