King keg tap replacement

[luke976]

I have a couple of King kegs and they are great. The only problem I have with them is the valve. whilst they are very good for sanitation, (the valve can be stripped down to pieces for cleaning and sterilising), they are very "notchy" even more so under pressure. This makes it (for me at least !) difficult to pour a decent pint. :x

I just wondered if anybody had any ideas on alternative valves that could be used instead? I did think about the standard valves that fitted to my cheap pressure barrels I bought when I started out brewing. They make pouring a pint much easier!

Thanks again guys.

Luke.

I had the same problem, so all I did was take the tap apart then use a light smear of petroleum oil on the screw part then just put the tap back together. The tap should be much easier to turn and no notchiness. Sadly I couldn't find any alternative taps for the KK.

A 'dalex' tap or similar can be used.
