Q: If I attach a faucet directly to this (no beer line), would I need a flow control faucet to dispense at 12 psi, or will this alone give me enough flow restriction?
A: This will let you dial in plenty of restriction, no need for the flow control faucet.
Works as advertised
I use this with water I keep on very very high carbonation combined with a very short line length (~20"). It works great! A flow control faucet didn't work for my application. It created tons of turbulence, which then pours the water in a weird off-center pattern with lots of foam and loses much of the carbonation. This restricts flow at the keg so the water stays under pressure in the lines and settles down before coming out of the faucet in a regular, fully carbonated stream.
Won't connect
I have tried too many times to get this to work. It just won't attached to the liquid ball lock male connector. So disappointed. William's Responds: Jim, sounds like you received one with a machining issue. We are sending you a replacement.
Flow control
Works great. I use it for carbonated water, which has a high psi. Keeps theater from "blasting" out of the tap.
Works pretty well
Only complaint I have about these, really, is that the machining needs to be a little more polished. These things are razor sharp inside. The threads will cut you. Functionally these are great. I ordered them to replace all of the intertap flow control faucets I have on my keezer and to minimize the line balancing necessary on my jockey box. Worked well on both accounts.
Work as expected
Solid and well made. For now, one week into its use, works as expected and it is much better than flow control at the faucet. Great design job!
