FYI, we just received a shipment of these from the manufacture and we tested them thoroughly. We did not have any leaks during the testing, so I believe the new washer material has fixed the issue. We just listed them for sale and did a posting in the Vendor section.
Shipment from who? I want to know who manufacture them now.
Chi company pulled them, and they're suppose to be going through an entire re-design from the ground up. There was WAY more issue than the leaks. Their castings were terrible. Their Quality control was non existent...etc.
Who cares if they're leak free when the finish on them is horrendous. Unless you're selling them at $20/ea, I'd save yourself the hassle.
I had 6 "version 2". I was given 6 more from "Version 3" all of them had pits in the metal, horrible threads, scuffed up to all hell... Evrything felt loose and floppy. The screw for a tap handle was like 1/4"... Point Blank... They were plain awful.
I got them swapped out with 6 perlick 630SS (and I kept two of the ventmatic v3 to throw onto my portable kegerator since I don't care about the finish on that. It'll get scuffed up anyway)
The Perlick faucets are BY FAR superior. Period! They're polished and absolutely beautiful. The inside is fully polished (ventmatics are rough casted on the inside)
I asked Matt at Chi to put me on his list to re-test the new ventmatics when (if) they come out...
Look at this post I made about the V3 faucets I received:

If that's the type of quality product you peddle, I'll stay clear of your website for any of my needs.
