Hiya friends,
I'm putting together my first keezer and I'm stuck trying to decide which beer faucets to choose. I really want Perlick 630s for both their stellar reputation and the simple internal construction, but I also really want the self-closing spring option that Intertap offers. I've read that the Intertap spring may work in the 630ss but just looking for confirmation that this is both true and won't cause me any problems down the line. Seems to me the Intertap spring length is designed to work with the sliding shuttle in their faucet, while the Perlick 630 has no shuttle but a pivoting ball. Will the spring be too short? will it seat properly on the back side of the sealing ball? I just know that if I forego the self-closing option I will sooner or later lose an entire keg on the floor and I can't risk damaging the wood flooring in our place.
Thanks in advance!
