I'm wondering what the cheapest place is to get a faucet and shank.

When I was looking about a year ago, I found Micromatic.com to be my cheapest option including shipping. Check them out. Midwestsupplies.com as well.

Superior Products has a good price on Perlick F/S faucets.

Forward seal is the only way to go. No sticky faucets in this fridge.

I bought my shanks at Austin Homebrew.

yeah i wanted to get this thing rolling as cheap as possible. I will grab another perlick later but for now I didn't want to spend the 30 bucks.

I have one ventmatic and a brass standard faucet as well as this one that I have just bought.

I will be installing them into my fridge on the weekend.

I searched pretty good, and found Rapids to be about the best price overall to get my kegerator set up.

I think with most places, the prices for each item will vary. For example, the shanks might be cheaper at one place, but the faucets more expensive, etc.

But, overall I think Rapids offered the best price, though I didn't look too much into forward sealing faucets.

They have nipple shanks really cheap, too. 3" for ~$12. 4" for ~$13.

I also agree with Superior. All my Perlicks and shanks have come from there. Great prices and fast shipping.
