    Intertap beer faucets

    I'm happy-ish with the flow control. It works pretty well with the growler filler. Still not sure what sort of back pressure it can create without throwing loads of foam.

    Intertap beer faucets

    I've been happy with 12ft of 3/16 at 15psi. I pour a couple of ounces to catch the first bit of foam and from there it pours well. Maybe too well. The key with all faucets is to avoid that first bit of foam. Once there is some foam, pouring beer through it will just make more. These things...

    I agree. I push with 15psi at 45° to get about 2.5vol. I was doing fine with 10ft of 3/16's and I am now finding that 12ft works better with the FC mech at "0". These faucets do seem to have a fast flow.

    Doubt it. I think you'd need a long line to handle that.

    Intertap beer faucets

    I have three and have been putting them through their paces. Quality is pretty good, but the flow control is a bit disappointing. I'd say it can drop maybe 3-4 psi which for me isn't enough to pour 3 volumes over 2.4 volumes worth of line. It also doesn't help when filling growlers enough to...

    Thanks for the links. My bad on the nominclature. I emailed Keg King and they linked me to their pack of seals. That includes all the rings including those inside the FC and the ring on the shuttle. I imagine if properly lubed, these should all last a very long time, the spout and shank seals...

    Intertap beer faucets

    All cleaned up an installed. The overall build quality is high, but there are some variances in the handle stopping point and he FC knob. Unfortunately I don't have anything good to pour right now but for an overcarbed cider. FC is not capable of fixing an overcarbed beverage I guess. No...

    Intertap beer faucets

    Just got my faucets. In the middle of a brewday and I need to disassemble to clean. Batch is 1603. Somebody mentioned the spout o-ring falling out and this is very true. If anybody has a caliper, please measure so people can source backups.

    Intertap beer faucets

    I went with all FC faucets, so the spring option is a no-go for me. It is pretty cool and I'm sure I'd like it after my butthead cat dumps a keg on the floor. I also opted for shanks from Rite Brew as I wanted 3" stainless to minimize the space required inside my keezer.

    I am pretty much exactly where you are at and I could care less about ventmatic. Bro had his chance on multiple occasions and now I would never send him a dime. Even if I were guaranteed delivery, I would still worry about getting replacement parts down the line. I think ventmatic made...

    Intertap beer faucets

    Brewpump.com - the US facing site of Ontario Beer Kegs which is an authorized seller of Kig King products. I payed ~$54 each including free Ground shipping (6 business days to SoCal). Aliexpress would have been around $45 each. The extra $9 gives me piece of mind that if there is an issue, I can...

    My faucets are scheduled to arrive Monday. I'll post photos of packaging and the hardware. I imagine the aliexpress faucets are made by the same factory, but I am tconcerned they might be cutting the Keg King guys out.

    This concern is why I contacted Keg King. below is the reply from the rep there. I personally would rather get fully authorized faucets and know that Keg King is receiving their share of the transaction. We don't have any dealings with Aliexpress so the faucets are not associated with Keg King.

    Intertap beer faucets

    I emailed Keg King a little bit back and the rep there says the faucets on aliexpress are not authorized. This is not surprising to me. That said, buyer beware. I'll order mine from an official source. Saving $5 isn't worth potential issues.
