Hey everyone,
So this is something I've had on my to-do list for a while, and I finally got to it. Now I have a setup where I can easily switch between commercial kegs and cornies in my kegerator. I got one of those Perlick low-profile sankey taps at Beverage Factory the other day for $48. Here are the list of parts:
1) 1x Low-profile sankey tap: HERE
2) 2x 1/4" MFL to 1/8" MPT adapter: HERE
3) 2x Flare Swivel 1/4" Barb Stem x 1/4" FFL Nut: HERE
4) 1x Ball Lock Gas Connector Threaded: HERE
5) 1x Ball Lock Liquid Connector Threaded: HERE
6) A 7/16" wrench
Except for the tap, I was able to get it all from one store, which is a big plus for me. Getting the barb adapters off of the tap was kind of a PITA, so I'd recommend putting it on a keg so it's a lot easier. Anyway, these will be threaded connections, not exactly the most plug and play like some other conversions I've seen, but there's a lot less parts, a lot less chance of leaks, and it looks better. Plus, it's just a threaded connector, how often do you change a keg in the kegerator that unscrewing a nut becomes a hassle?
I've attached a picture of the tap assembled with the parts.
Hope that helps others in search of a good conversion!
