    Intertap beer faucets

    Do you have all of the rings? Two of my three were missing part 13 in the linked drawing. This caused beer to flow into the flow knob and made lots of foam. Also, did you apply lube to all of the rings? Lube not only lubricates, it helps seal as well. I ended up getting similar rings from...

    I'm using 12ft of 3/16 PVC line at 15psi. 10ft was too short.

    Based on the past experiences of others, you might want to call your bank. Seriously, there are countless stories of people getting hosed and dragged along for those faucets. I hope I'm wrong.

    How about trust and or fear of a whooping. I grew up with ready access to all sorts of booze and never touched it.

    They appear to be the same as ventmatic with a washer on top, two nylon cupped washers, and an o-ring on the bottom.

    I was unable to find a washer in that size from McMaster. I'll admit that I'm not a washer and oring expert, so I may have overlooked something. The Keg King rep tells me that the current batches are not exhibiting the issues. It will be couple of weeks before I get my washers, but I will...

    Couldn't find one in that size and I have no idea how to tell how stiff one is over the Internet. Keg King said they will send me washers, but they don't have any of the other ring I am missing available. Waiting on them to let me know the ETA on the out of stock ring. The rebuilt faucet with...

    Right, and I want flow control. The intertaps didn't ever show sulfer and I had a cider on for about 5 weeks. On the non-leaky faucet.

    Intertap beer faucets

    I'm not ready to swear them off completely. I just want functional faucets without a delay of unknown length. If I switch to Perlick, I can have faucets here in a day or two, but I won't have the spouts and might have the low pH sulfur issue. If I keep the Intertaps, I won't know when they will...

    I did hear back from Keg King and they admit that I got bad washers and that there was a mistake in two of the FC seat washers missing. Obviously they have issues with their manufacturing partners. They still want me to resolve with the retailer which I think is not ok. The retailer I bought...

    I rebuilt one faucet and was sure to use the stiff washer. I was able to really tighten down on the bonnet stiffening the lever action by a significant amount. I'm curious if this soft versus stiff washer is part of the issue.

    OBK offered to send me a return label and refund as they do not have an ETA on replacement nor do they have replacement seal kits. I told them I'd like to give Keg King a chance to resolve before I opt for the return. Inspected my washers a bit further and one of the three is more stiff. I...

    I don't think those are knockoffs. From what I know, and I can certainly be mistaken, ChiCo licensed the IP and ran into all sorts of production issues. I don't know if they ever got a good run out.

    I don't know. So far Keg King is putting the responsibility on OBK (brewpump). I'm going to give it another day before I start talking with them.

    Keg King is blaming the washer at the top of the handle. I question this as that would only affect the outside seal and not the inner. Part in question is number 9 in the diagram. http://www.intertap.beer/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Intertap-8633.pdf And I just noticed that two of my...
