New (cheaper) Perlick "perl" Forward Seating Beer Taps

[argon]

Never really thought about it... but i gently push mine back i guess. Not a spring action and the seal is excellent.

Stupid question, these taps aren't spring loaded from what I can tell. Do you have to manually close them or does the pressure push them closed automatically when you let go of the handle?

I have 2 of the 525SS's. No spring back. It's a smooth action back and forth but you do need to push back to close, just like you pull to open. Very smooth action and can be adjusted. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies guys. I was a little concerned as my current tap has spring return but every one seems to love them so I will give them a whirl.

You closed them manually, but in reality, beer taps should be treated as having two positions, on and off......And it may be my years of barwork, but I love the solid flick back and forth, I couldn't imagine a springloaded tap.

EDIT: I still use the same hand action, middle finger flicks the tap on, thumb flicks it back off again

I may be able to hook you up with some perlick SS creamers including 3" shank and barb.

Not too sure that I want the creamers, but maybe the 545 could be the go
