Perlick Faucets

[maltbarley]

I'm looking to build a small jockey box and need two faucets but it looks like Perlick has a new faucet out that's cheaper than their standard forward seal faucets.

Has anyone used these or heard if they work as well as the older faucets?

As far as I can tell these are a replacement. I can't find the old forward sealing ones in their new catalog.

The new design has fewer internal parts.

I have one of the new faucets on my kegarator tower. So far it has worked perfectly.

I've never used the previous model, so no good comparissons, other than I agree with Kevin ... I think it is a replacement (and thus better right?!) of the previous edition.

I had also tried their new model with the 'creamer function' where you press back on the handle to add foam to a beer. That one, for whatever reason, always leaked a very small amount of beer throughout the day, although it was not supposed to. Like a tablespoon or two in 24-hours. Not horrible, but not good either. I returned it and swapped it for the new standard styel Perlick.

Thanks Chris, that's what I needed to hear. The difference, as far as I can tell, is that the new faucets don't have a shaft running down the bore of the faucet. Tha, is probably why they are cheaper.
