Poppet replacement question

[LoganO]

I have a Firestone VI that I am trying to replace the poppets in and I can’t find the right one. The kegs have a blue or green rubber handle/top on them and they all have the plastic gas dip tubes. I have purchased some of these from More Beer:

They do not seal up all the way I have to press on the poppet and move it around to get it to seal up. I have called Northern Brewer and More Beer and they don’t know what poppet to use. Does anyone know what poppet these kegs take?

I will have to check that universal one out I have not seen those before.

Thanks for the help.

Not sure if this is any different than the Morebeer one

You might try adding a bit of keg lube to the seal on the poppet to help it center up on the hole. You can also try putting two o-rings on the dip tube to make it a tighter fit.

I purchased some new poppets from some APC kegs I have and the descriptions on this site were easy to understand and the items I ordered fit correctly and fixed my problem
