Now @Digga wont talk to me any more. :(

I knew there was some body else, just couldn't remember who :( You go to the head of the queue mate. I should get 6 taps out of this pile to sort both of you out.

G'day @Rosey6 Have just come across a bunch of Florytes bits and pieces. I should be able to make 5 out of them. Are you still on the hunt mate?

I would need to take a closer look to be sure, but I would almost bet my left one that they are. I haven't seen them with hex blocks before, but that doesn't mean they weren't made. When the EK was being transitioned to pull down in the 80's they went through a few incarnations before Andale...

G'day Digga, They are both EK taps. One is side action, and the other is pull down. They have slightly different kits. The side action one has a cam in the top that has a locating slot to find the fully open position. Over time the cam wears down. (Takes a looooong time for this to happen, and...

Unless there is an agitator motor in the esky, there is not much to be gained by leaving water in the esky as it will be subjected to stratification. This is why they are built in to ice bank chillers. By keeping the ice dry, water from melting ice will refreeze on the plate and form a crust of...

Stainless steel (coil) takes longer to cool down than aluminium (plate) so any benefit gained from more volume can be lost to time. The heat transfer with aluminium is virtually instant. The coil that you have linked has a 3/8" diameter, whereas most plates have a 5/16" diameter. This means...

It should work. Chiller plates provide much more efficient heat transfer than coils, but if you have your heart set on a coil, you should achieve reasonable results.

Is this the new brand in the Fat Yak / Lazy Yak / Wild Yak stable?

I lost track of this thread a while back and am too lazy to go back and read it all. Did you buy the Orford fridge? I have a deck for that model that just needs an evaporator fan. I could put it on a truck for you if that is any good to you? EDIT: Typo

The youngsters like to slam them on, and slam them off. This wears down the tensile strength of the spring, meaning constant adjustment. That means roughly 170 times slammed on, and off per keg. A busy pub can go through multiple kegs of the same product in a day, so multiply that out. (170 x 10...

Without getting too involved in technicalities, you need 3 hands to service the DA. Back in the days when I was young and eager, I made up a tool that I could rest in my belly button to get the clearance between the block and the wear plate right, whilst using my hands to do up the rest of it...

Leave the washers / o ring supplied with the 5/8" ball lock adaptors in.

It would be a thread sealant like loctite or similar. If you get yourself some gas friendly teflon tape and wrap it around the thread of the new one, that will do the same thing. If you are not in a hurry, I reckon I may have a few of these in the shed. I am out of town though, and not back til...

If I was you, I would just obtain a 1/4" stem & type 30 nut. You should be able to unscrew the supplied one, and do a straight swap.

I have sold seven of these. There are now 5 left.

They would want to... The asking price is around list price for new.

I have often wondered the same thing. Surely it must cause a bigger distraction than a phone whilst driving? (Particularly if the driver happens to also be hammered.)

Tell her to sit at another table. :)

If you have any problems getting hold of one locally mate, give me a whistle, I will mail mine to you with a return satchel.
