Do keep in mind that unless you greatly decrease the CO2 pressure each time you pour a beer you'll end up with a glass full of foam (no restrictions between keg and tap). You'd be better off going with 10' of 3/16 line and a picnic tap.
 
Get a threaded disconnect it will be more solid then barbed and make a trip to the hardware store with your faucet and and the disconnect. I made mine a horizontal unit that would go over the side of the keg because the first configuration vertical had way to much play on it from the connect to post.

yeah, I wasn't gonna keep the gas-in line connected. I was just gonna attach them to an already charged keg. It's mostly so I can pull pints from kegs in queue while waiting for space to free up in the kegerator.
 
They have a standard faucet adapter that replaces the barb on Ur Liquid QD. That's what I use. I think it comes with the faucet if U buy it. Mine did. Any place that sells kegging EQ should carry it. Hope this helps.
 
I made up a few direct faucets by putting a 3" piece of 1/4" ID polyethylene tubing between the beer out QD and a picnic faucet. Extra points for dropping a few epoxy mixing cores down into your dip tube if you plan to dispense the whole keg that way.
