I purchased a couple pallets of PBST 1/6 bbl kegs about two years ago, and since then have had about 1/4 of them fail to drain when on the keg washer. After replacing the keg coupler on my IDD Keg washer, and speaking to several folks, we have determined that the issue was the black gasket inside the spear. PBST was nice enough to send me a bag of replacement gaskets and some tools to disassemble these, but after spending several hours disassembling and re-assembling these I am confident to state the following -
The chinese spears in these PBST kegs are junk (or at least the gaskets are). Save yourself some money and time and make sure that you get micro-matic spears if you buy their kegs. I don't have anything bad to say about PBST in general, except that they should have just replaced the spears rather than making me waste my time rebuilding the junk spears that came with their kegs.
