My 4 Way co2 Distributor

This son-of-a-gun has been a big leaker for me!
http://www.midwestsupplies.com/4-way-co2-distributor-5-16.html

So much so that I gave on it and haven't been using it for the past year. That is until last night when I became determined to seal the leaks. While trying to remove the shutoff valve to add new teflon tape, I ended up stripping the threads in the aluminum tube. I'm going to see if Midwest will allow me to exchange it.
On Tap: American Oatmeal Stout
Conditioning: Iced Dopplebock, Schwartbier, Pilsner #1, #2, and #3

If they won't and you need help, I might be able to fix the threads. I have a tap and die set and I might have the right size.

Midwest Supplies is Awesome. They happily exchanged my leaky distributor for a new one. I installed it last night and tested it this morning to find no leaks.
