First of all I'm pretty new to this home brew stuff, particularly the taps and kegging side of things, so excuse my ignorance. Here goes...
I received a while back a keg setup as a gift. I have 2 taps. The one in this picture came from a pub and was a present with my kegging setup. It looks as if it would snap on to a beer font or something. I haven't used it at all. It looks fairly well used, but I'm told that it works perfectly well. It's a Downey according to whats written on it.
The one below is a door fiiting tap. This was part of the present. This is the one I want so I need another one. I'd like to have 2 of the same taps so they match and look good in the bar. Anyway, I'm not really sure how much either of these things are worth (so if anyone can help out by letting me know, that would be great! Saves me getting ripped off, haha).
So if anyone has a door fitting tap the same as this that they would like to trade it (possibly with some cash involved too, to make up the difference in value) for the one seen in the 1st picture, please let me know. If not, feel free to make me an offer on the font tap and I will use the money to put towards buying a new door tap (once I find out where to get one, can anyone help there?).
Also, as an aside, I've been reading on the forums that a good beer line size and length is 4mm X about 3m long. The line that came with the door tap was 6mm X 1.8m long. So I went and bought two 3m lengths of 4mm line. My question, how do I go about getting the 4mm line to suit my door tap? Below is a pic of the 6mm. Even if I get the little steel piece to put inside the 4mm line, how the hell will the 4mm fill that space so it doesn't leak?
Cheers!
