Perlick Faucet Manufacturing Differences Okay? *Pic*

[stp]

Okay, I'm not sure if this is a big deal or not but I wanted to ask the opinion of everyone here on HBT.

I am dry fitting my 2 keg setup I purchased from keg connection to my keezer I'm almost finished building and I noticed that the 2 Perlick faucets I got (575SS) look different from each other. As you can see from the picture, the handle mechanism on one sits flush while the other does not.
I don't have my CO2 tank yet so I can't test to see if it makes a difference with the pour.
I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this with their faucets? Do you think it's something that I should be concerned about?

Thanks for the feedback.

Interested to know what you find. I just ordered 2 myself and should be arriving soon.

Since its just how tight the handle screws down it souldnt have any affect on the pour as long as the internals are lined up properly. Aesthetically though my OCD would be going nuts.

Exactly, I'm still not sure if I'll be able to stop thinking about it every time I go pour a beer.
I looked up the business end and everything appears similar between the two in that regard.

somethings not right, the one on the right should be seated down like the one on the left

The nut below the tap handle adjusts, just as it does on all faucets. that can be screwed higher or lower to adjust for handles that need to face one particular direction. With the black handles it doesn't matter which way they face, so you can adjust them to be as high or low as you'd like.

Looks like you have to tighten the "Collar" down a little more. That should set the resistance on the handle as well.

Oh man, what a beginner I am, lol.
I looked at your post and thought, nah, I can't be that stupid.....turns out I am. Took a look again and sure enough the one on the right was loose and it turned right down and became flush just like the one on the left.

Another rookie problem solved by the great members of HBT.
Thanks!

That piece that's is sitting high screws down. Like the others said, it's so you cna tighten it all down, but still align a tap handle's label facing forward.

*edit* my post came in just after yours. Glad you got it
