Ah, how sweet it is to not have to fight a sticking faucet on the first pour of beer after a hard days work. I have had my Marvel kegerator for about 2 years now, and I have always been bothered by the fact my standard style faucet would always be glued shut with beer residue after sitting from the night before. I went so far as to purchase another standard style faucet in 100% SS, and it too stuck, I would worry about snapping the column sometimes on the first pull of the night.

This perlick faucet is a far superior design, and I can verify after running a couple of kegs through it that there is NEVER a sticking problem.

However, this faucet is a little bit to get used to, it operates with VERY little resistance and has the push back for foam feature, you simply need to adapt to the fact you should pull with a smoother and more gentle motion, and try to simply ease the tap handle back to closed and don't jerk it back because the push to foam feature is also a rather light touch.

After about 5 beers you'll get the hang of it for sure, so I can't take a star away. I am 100% happy with this faucet and will recommend it to everyone I can.

Purchased two of these faucets from RiteAV for $23.99/each. Their price was $20+ LESS than other vendors. Faucets received in new condition and in manufacturer packaging.

As for the faucets, they are perfect. Well machined, easy to disassemble and clean, and they operate smoothly. And I like that they are made in the USA.

Why buy a plated brass faucet, when you can get this full stainless-steel faucet for a few bucks more?

Just received this in the mail after only ordering it two days ago from a third party seller. Extremely fast shipping. This thing works exactly as it should. No sticking and nothing but perfect pours. Highly recommended, especially for the price. Look up other reviews on this faucet, and relax knowing that this thing performs just as well as everyone else says.

This faucet works GREAT!!! The cheap faucets that come with a kegerator are not sealed,and exposed to the air, so the first pull will be very hard. This faucet is completley sealed so that the pull is insanely smooth! I highly recommend this!

Got this to upgrade the crappy faucet that came with my Vissani kegerator. It barely drips and doesn't get moldy like the rear sealing faucet when not used daily. Operates very smooth and always pours a full stream. I always had to fiddle with the old faucet, moving the handle back and forth to get the stream to pour full and consistent and I could never open it fully to get a good pour. With the Perlick, just open it all the way and let it rip and I get a great pour every time.

No more sticky faucet. This is a great replacement faucet for the cheap faucet that comes with most towers. Since it's inclosed you don't have to worry about any leftover beer drying up gumming the inside of your taps. If you're thinking of getting new faucets for your tap, just buy these because your search is over.

Coming from a more typical or traditional tap design, as a home brewer my tap would always take some work to get going after not being poured for a day or more. I'd use a glass of warm water and usually spill some trying to get the residue melted and free up my tapper. It was a big mess and quite a hassle!

Installation was simple - it uses the same threading as my traditional kegerator tap did.

This tapper has barely even hinted at sticking. I have definitely felt some slight resistance, but under similar conditions this one just opens up immediately.

I also like the looks of it! I think it's more professional looking.

I highly recommend it.

I bought 4 of these to replace the cheep faucets that came with my kegerator. They never stick, and always work.

Forget all the rest. Perlick faucets are hands down the best one the market. Order the SS version and use it for life.

I love my Perlick Forward Seal, Stainless Steel beer faucet. I only wish that I had purchased it sooner. It seals and doesn't stick but doesn't cost a lot. I highly recommend this faucet for the home kegerator.
