Was looking for high quality taps for my draft setup and this fits the bill nicely!
Fully stainless, body and all. Really high quality. Works exactly as expected.
Works great for me! I opted for the full stainless steel one.
No more metal taste for stainless coated parts
This is much nicer than the stock tap that came with my kegorator. Solid, taps like a champ and easy to take apart to clean.
What kind of gasket does it use on the gas side?
Thank you for your question. This coupler uses the standard "Gas bladder" in the gas side so that it is used as a check valve. If you want to use this couple to fill the keg then you can replace the gas bladder with a standard beer line gasket.
Where the draft tailpiece fits there is a plastic piece inside (under the red protection cap). Can it be removed? Seems odd for beer to flow through this plastic when buying an all stainless tap. Thanks for your help!
Yes it can be removed with a pair of needle nose pliers but it's there to prevent backflow into the keg. This is a good feature to have to prevent contamination.
Do not remove it It is the check ball retainer.
That plastic piece is in every sankey it’s a tight-fitting triangular locking mechanism to keep the back flow preventing ball under it secure. It can be removed along with the ball under it but then there will be no back flow prevention.
I'm curious to know if this would fit with a sanke to call lock adapter in my converted kegerator. What is the height of this item?
If you have height constraints you can use an elbow adapter such as our low profile elbow bend (D1514). This will help adapt to a ball lock fitting without adding much extra height. From the floor to the very top of the coupler assembly on a Microstar 1/6bbl keg is 26 3/8". Cheers!
