Faucet identification help

Last year I bought a full fridge, kegs, manifold, tank, etc used (good rice yard sale find!!!! Woot!!).
The stuff had not been used in years and the fridge gave out. I replaced the fridge, and have only had 2 kegs max going since then.

The old system came with 3 taps and a picnic tap. Right now I am using picnic taps as I have not installed the taps that I got in my purchase.

What i want to know, being a relative newb to this, is how can I identify whether the taps I have are perlicks or not.

Thanks!

Do you have pictures? That would be the best way to tell.

I sure do.

Those don't look like Perlicks to me. But as long as they are clean they should work.

Definitely not Perlicks.

This is what Perlicks look like

these are standard rear sealing taps


these are Perlick forward sealing taps. A much better tap IMHO. There's a few different models.

Those may well be Perlick faucets - either 408 or 410 models.

I can't tell what makes them different but this is a 408X chromed brass...



Cheers!

Perlick makes both forward seal and rear seal faucets. They always stamp their name in the casting somewhere. If you see it stamped then it is perlick. If it isn't that isn't a big deal. I don't see much quality difference between the rear-sealing faucets.

I guess my main question was are they forward or rear seal. They are indeed rear.

I would have responded sooner, but it was brew day, and there was a block party hosted across the street. I got to show of some of my handiwork, and was exhausted at the end of it all.

Thanks again
