I just received mine but haven't had a chance to really play with them. I can't seem to hand unscrew the black part but it looks the faucet would be male. The forward seal is a piston design. There is an o-ring to seal on the shank.
So I am considering getting one of these for my stouts/porters for the creamer function or going nitro, big price difference and I am sure taste difference. How do you guys like it.
Jim Carlson from CMBecker replied to my request with pictures and descriptions of how the washers are installed/ordered on the lever. See attached. Great customer support from CMBecker and big thanks to Jim for helping me get this right. I won't know for sure if it works until I charge the lines with new beer, which should be in a month or so. Regardless, this is the correct order of assembly for the faucet. Note to self...take a picture of the faucet parts the next time I disassemble.
I like the faucets - but there is something to be said about the simplicity of internals of a Perlick (faucet body, lever).
