Hey everyone,
thought i'd post this on here as it helped me quite a bit. I have 2 perlick 525ss faucets on my keezer for a long time now that i hate using. They leak all the time, and just cause so many issues. I've replaced 2 of my other taps with the newer model (630's i believe) but have been on the fence about actually replacing the 525's or just dealing with it.
I saw a note from Intertap's faucets using springs to keep the faucet closed. Thought it wouldnt hurt to buy the spring from my LHBS and try them in my perlicks. Lo and behold they work perfectly!
So to anyone who is wanting to ditch their old 525's because they leak from not seating fully, give this a try as it might squeeze a little more life out of your taps.
Oh, and as a heads up for those of you who want self closing taps on the newer perlicks this should work on their other non flow control taps as well. I'll be buying 2 more of the springs when i get a chance and putting them in my other taps. Just helps to not have to worry about things leaking on me.
FYI. This is the spring.
