i got a new ss s30 with/without pin today fitted it to one of my caps but i cant get a good seal every time i tighten it up the soft washer deforms, i did 2 test runs with the bulbs on an empty 2 gallon and lost all the co2 when i know it will hold over 7psi with a vented cap on
 
are u sure its the new valve- the pressure barrel main seals can be dead annoying as they tend to herniate if screwed on too tight- might also be the problem with the little ones- bit of vaseline rarely hurts aswell
 
if the same pb with different caps one holds pressure and the other doesnt , both caps are old 25 years old with light blue round o rings not the moden white flat ones. i cant over tighten as my hands are not very strong. i will give them a lube to see if it helps . i want to get it right before i trust my beer in them
