Tap Spacing

[Sbe2]

I finally bought my shanks and faucets to complete my keezer build. For now I plan on using three taps with plans on adding a fourth in the future. My faucets are Intertap FCs.

My question is what is the spacing do y’all use from center to center? I have it pencilled in at 4” but have read that some do 3”. I have the small black handles now, but in the near future will be getting some chalkboard style tap handles.

I went 5" on mine but I wish I had went 3 or 4". I started out with two taps and figured that would be all but I'm about to add a 3rd tap. I have a 16" drip tray so even with 5" between I will have enough coverage.

I used 3" spacing on both my keezers which from what ive seen has been the recommended standard. I also design all my tap handles wit fit within the 3" spacing

3" might be a wee bit tight for flow control faucets. I think 4" would be the better option...

Cheers!

Keezer geometry always seems to play out.
I'd work off how many kegs can potentially fit in the keezer.
You will likely max this out at some point in the future.
Mark off the maximum taps symmetrically and start placing what you need from the middle outward to the sides.
Since more keg capacity = longer width, in most cases this will allow for at least 4" spacing.

I went with 3.5" between my flow controls. It's perfect I think. Keezer has space for 4 kegs, so I put 4 taps on there. I keep them loaded most of the time

Here you go... I just poured myself an IPA from the one on the right.

I put mine over the hump. If I hadn't, there's no way I'd get the 4 kegs in/out. So, one might consider starting over the hump, and adding taps inward, instead of starting in the center.

Good point. Not all are configured the same.

I went with 3” from center
