Not sure if you've heard of http://www.lindr.cz/?

There are no price on the site but I know a guy that gets taps from them wholesale for about €30.

It might be worth your while pinging them a mail (coming from EU you won't get stung for customs)

Since this thread is about Aliexpress taps but also had some Intertap discussion this looks like the best place to ask.

I have 3 chinese perlick style flow control taps on my Kegerator - long shanks through the fridge door.  One of them gives me a bit of jip pour wise no matter the length of line.  Does anyone know if the shanks on these things would be compatible with Intertap taps? Also, any idea of the nut size on the back of the shank as I'd like to replace the barbs with John Guest fittings?

As far as I remember my shanks are 7/8"

This is a good question. I was just assuming that would work as I plan on replacing 2 of those Chinese perlick knock offs with intertap too.

I had a Chinese normal flow control tap and the intertap was not compatible with its shank. Don't know about the Chinese perlicks tho.

Can you measure the thread accurately with a vernier?

DaveG

Wouldn't even know what a Vernier was. Doubt I have one.

These are the taps in question. I suppose the flow control ones would be a more accurate description:

If the shank has flow control integrated it won't be compatible. The flow control system is integrated into the Intertaps.

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.

Looks like these taps are now all gone which is a pity as the 3 I bought are great and I would recommend if they come up again, thanks again Vinyl for the initial post.

Could it have something to do with the Chinese new year as well, a lot of add on eBay are saying they're away for the next week. Or that they're only distributing them to the likes of morebeer, kegkingdom etc...

My order from Christmas just arrived with no duty as well. Looks like I was lucky with timing. Thanks op for putting these up!

I'm looking to get some taps for a keezer build. Did everyone here buy the Intertap flow controls? Are they worth getting over the cheeper flow control?

I was also looking at these as they would go with the Celli tap i already have. Anyone bought them? the feedback on them is positive except for the delivery
