Anyone try out the new Perlick 650SS Stainless Flow Control?

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it greatly!

Got your PM, thought I'd post here.

Yes, they are 3" center to center, as you can see in the picture below. I have the handles fanned out slightly so they don't come into contact. Most of the handles are off right now because I'm doing an experiment.

Anyone here running the 650's with ultra barrier silver liquid line? If so, what length are you using? Wondering if I could run shorter lines since they have the flow control.

Was going to do 12ft lines but wouldnt mind cutting that in half

A late post. I just cut my beer lines to 4 foot (bevflex 200) and can serve seltzer at 30psi with no issue

Awesome. I just got 4 650ss's today. As soon as the varnish dries I will be installing them in my keezer.

How is the flow? If I keep my lines around 8-10 foot, will it work better serving beer with the control more open, or would it be the same with 4 feet, and the flow control shut down a bit??

Edit: I am also using bevflex 200

I got them 650s because was trying to clean up the inside of my keezer So far I am very happy with 4 ft and have plenty of adjustability

You sure can, my lines are 3 feet now. Although I called Perlick and asked tech support and they said it wouldn't, the flow control certainly allows you to use short beer lines at high pressure. The only tradeoff is flow rate. I can fill 3 ounce sampler glasses of highly carbonated wheat beers no problem.

I currently have three 650ss faucets, one on the walk in (out of 14 taps, the others are original ventmatics, 425ss, and 525ss faucets), and two for direct keg drawing for samples or even serving if I want.

I plan on switching out all my faucets eventually for the 650ss, I like them that much. I also plan on going to the bev seal ultra tubing afterwards as well, but I will be getting the 1/4 x 3/8 tubing since I have moved to 3/8'' john guest fittings for everything, and plan on putting the fittings on the shanks once I change out to all 650ss faucets so that I don't have to worry about the difference in pressure drop due to the line.
