Hi,
Fairly new to kegging. I've done 7 or 8 kegs now.
Whilst cleaning the keg, basically a soak and rinse with vwp, i noticed that the o-ring on the lid had come loose.
I can refit it ok, but am worried as to whether this is a sign that it needs replacing and that it won't be airtight?
Any thoughts?
Replace or Refit?
New Large O Ring required? or just re-fitting?

Yeah this is the one.
That would put my mind at ease if it is removable.
I'd honestly not even considered that it would come off prior to it coming off of its own accord.
Thanks

Absolutely fine to remove wash and re-fit. i do it all the time and would not re-use without cleaning as beer can get slopped up under the seal. These are readily avilable off eBay. There are several types. Silicone is not worth the extra cost. Clena with warm soapy water and a nylon scrubby if necessary - nice and gentle.
