Title: Connector for TAP
Post by: Partridge9 on May 28, 2015, 03:48:36 PM
I have mysteriously mislaid two of my connectors for my taps.

They are the bit that connects the tap to the beer line, I think its called a barb

anyone know where you buy these ? They came with my taps, so I dont have a clue what to order.
