AliExpress taps

[vinyljunkie]

Wondering could anyone on the forum give me feedback on taps from AliExpress?

I seen another poster mention these?

Also these have been mentioned, I'd need to buy shanks and springs seperatly.

Any help greatly appriciated.

I've got the first ones there. They are ok, do a job. If I was buying again I'd probably get flow control though.

Welcome to the forum

Cheers!

Nice one QS I'll have to see can the budget extend to the Intertap ones.

Would also recommend the flow control much better. They have some great deals on taps on 11.11

@ QS, are they stainless steel?

Yea I was planning on leaving it till Friday to order alright.

I've one of those, it's grand - works well enough for me, but I've nothing to compare it against. It doesn't seem to leak though, which is a plus I suppose easy enough to break down to clean too.

I already have two of these taps but need a third

Might go for the silver version on 11.11 instead seeing as its 20 quid cheaper and seems to also be stainless steel

Though the fact I'll have one different tap may bother me so much that I'll just shell out the extra 20 quid to keep them all the same...

Haven't used anything other than flow control but I imagine you'll only end up upgrading to them in the future so you might as well buy them now.

Yeah.. get the flow control one.   I got the regular tap, and it breaks my heart..   Wish I got flow control at the start.

I have 2 Celli flow control taps for sale, hardly used and bought from Alex on here, just another option, apologies for jumping in like this 

[Leann ull]

Better to post them in a separate thread and I'm interested if price is right can you post a pic in a new thread?

[Gugs44]

Will do in For Sale

[Leann ull]

let's chat there so

[vinyljunkie]

Sorry only seeing this now, I would have needed to buy shanks for them anyway.

Seems most people recommend the control flow, do I need to worry about forward sealing?

[Acott]

I bought two of the flow control taps...still waiting on them to arrive though!
