New Kegerator Owner with some parts questions

[thegame310]

Hi all.

First I purchased a used Danby DKC445BL yesterday from CL. However while it came complete with the tower...it did not come with any of the dispensing equipment and the manual's I've found online aren't the greatest in the world...so I'm mocking up an order on KegWorks and just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

1: Beer Faucet - http://www.kegworks.com/draft-beer-faucet-with-brass-lever-chrome-412-p19098

2 - Gooseneck Draft Beer Tower Shank Assembly - http://www.kegworks.com/gooseneck-draft-beer-tower-shank-assembly-870-p19205

3 - 3/16 beer line (I'm assuming this just pushes over the end of the gooseneck?)

4 - Ball Lock Quick Disconnects with 1/4 Hose Barb - http://www.kegworks.com/ball-lock-quick-disconnect-liquid-with-1-4-hose-barb-778-p176211

I need a new regulator and likely gas lines/disconnects but that's fairly straight forward.

So, am I on the right track here?

Thanks guys!

Yup, on the right track but I would recommend you go with Perlick faucets as the economy type tend to leak or get sticky and don't function as well.

Also, keep in mind that getting the 3/16" line over the 1/4" barb can be difficult. Soak the end of the line in boiling water for a few seconds or more to soften the line and it should then go on easier

Thanks for the response man! I appreciate it!

I second the Perlick faucets. I bought 3 of 'em and haven't regretted the decision. You also need clamps for the beer and gas lines. At the keg connectors and both at the regulator body and the gooseneck shank. I like the oetiker style, but you can also use stainless worm type clamps. Just make sure the clamps are 100% stainless, because sometimes the threaded part is not. I put some links to the clamp styles below, and congrats on the kegerator purchase!
