I got a shank and tap from malt miller for my Kegorator. I've fitted it tonight, but it came with a long conical spring. It sort of looks like it fits inside the tap where it connects to the shank, but it didn't 'feel' right in there so can anyone tell me where it goes and what it's for?
 
Is it this type?

Seems to be auto-closing if it is.
