Looking for some advice as to beer faucet recommendations.
I was given a Danby kegerator with what appears to be dual Perlick 525 polished chrome faucets (or a knock-off of that model), however these are self-closing. These faucets have the "flat spot" at the apex of the nozzle where the engraved "P" would normally go (but of course mine are blank), so I don't think they're Vent-Matic.
Since they are discontinued, I can't seem to find any original info on the Perlick 5xx models to determine if they were originally self-closing or if Danby ordered a "special self-closing" version of the 5xx for their kegerators.
These generic-525PC faucets developed the o-ring leak at the bonnet (confirming my assumption that they are Perlick 5xx faucets) and I have replaced the o-ring which fixes that problem, but now I'm exploring dispensing wine from the kegerator also (yes, I know it needs to be pushed with a different gas and all that jazz).
What I really want is a Perlick 6xx stainless steel self-closing faucet, but that may not exist as it appears none of the new Perlick 6xx faucets are self-closing.
Is that true?
Thanks for the help!
