The Intertap flow control faucet is a forward sealing stainless steel faucet similar to the per licks. It has a modular, threaded spout which can fit a variety of different attachments including a growler filler or a stout spout. In normal rear-sealing faucets the entire faucet has to drain of beer. In forward-sealing faucets the faucet keeps beer in it so the inside doesn't have a chance to get sticky, making cleaning much easier. It also reduces the chance of off flavors transferring to your beer while you pour. Other forward sealing faucets use a floating O-Ring, which is just as sanitary but requires the O-Ring to move inside the faucet body in order to seal correctly. This can become a problem as the faucet ages. Intertap faucets use a sliding shuttle that guides the O-Ring into the perfect position every time. The threaded spout easily unscrews from the faucet and can be replaced by a growler filler or stout spout quickly and easily. Pour a pint and then fill a growler in no time at all. Made of stainless steel and comes with a lever to control the flow of your beer. Click here for a video explaining the features of the Intertap faucet.

Has more features than the Perlick faucets
Constantly battling over-pressurized beer is a hassle, but the Intertap Flow Control faucet reduces the need to add more length to the beer line. After purchasing 1 Intertap Flow Control faucet and using the Flow Control to reduce foaming issues, I ended up purchasing 2 more. Perlick Flow Control faucets are another option, but the Intertap faucets have the ability to change from a regular faucet to a Stout dispenser to transferring beer directly into a keg. The versatility is what sold me on the Intertap faucet instead of the Perlick faucet. Unlike Chrome plated faucets, the stainless steel version will not corrode over time. Overall, I believe the Interap faucets are the better pruchasing bargain.

Flow control is good, looks nice, drips a little post pour
Overall I really like the faucet. The flow control is great. I always start with the flow control turned almost off so the tap/ line has a chance to cool down as the poor is started. This seems to reduce the head to almost nothing(if desired). A little head is good though, right?The only downside is the dripping. I have four of these faucets and they all seem to drip for a while after a pour. Maybe that's normal, but doesn't seem right. That is the reason for the star reduction in my mind.

Great Faucet for the Money
Using this for my homebrew kegerator. Looks really nice and stainless steel construction means it’s meant to last a lifetime. I also like that the top screws off for changing to stout or growler faucet. This item is right on par with my 1 piece perlick faucets

drip drip drip
I bought two of these for my kegerator. I really like the flow control function but one of the faucets drips. I thought that in time the drip would stop. I would gladly change this rating to 5 stars for some asssistance getting the leak to stop (wastes beer and co2).

Really been impressed
I've experimented with several different faucets, and have settled on the Intertap. The flow control is a nice feature for when the carbonation isn't quite right. The forward seal is a must! (I've broken the plastic tap handles when beer would dry inside the faucet). The interchangeable tips are easy to remove and install. Best of all, the price is very reasonable.I just ordered 4 more faucets.

What a difference
Got this because my standard faucet would stick and build up gunk if I didn’t use it everyday. The old one also foamed up beers every time I poured. This is such high quality and fixed all my problems. Flow is nice and consistent. Doesnt stick at all. Doesn’t foam up like my old one did. Worth every penny.

Best thing out there!
I just got into Kegging about a year ago and I have been through a fair share of "top brands" of faucets. This is hands down the best one we have found and I am changing all my faucets to this one here.

Perfect everytime.
I bought this tap to put directly on a ball lock keg with an adapter and it works perfectly. I can keep the keg at carbonation pressure and regulate the flow/resistance with the arm on the faucet. Perfect everytime.
