Dispense tubing connectors

[eskimobob]

I have an old Carlsburg tap which I am using to dispense bitter reasonably well (although yet to sort the gassing correctly). This connects to my cornie quick-disconnect via a bit of clear tubing (9.5 OD x 6.7 ID). The tube simply pushes inside the back of the connector on the tap (the sort that you press a ring to pull the tube out again).

I also have an old Guinness tap which I am planning on using for my stout however at the moment I can't connect the tap in the same way as described above. The back of the Guinness tap has a similar push fit connector with inner diameter suitable to accept a tube of approx 8mm OD so my standard tubing will not fit.
The tap came with a small adapter pushed into the back which further reduces the pipe size so that it would accept a tube of about 6mm OD.

Does anyone know where I might get hold of a suitable adapter?

Alternatively, you might tell me that in order to serve stout through the Guinness tap (with the internal plate that has 5 tiny holes in it), I must use the thinner tube in order to restrict the flow?

Suggestions appreciated :blink: :huh:

Thanks Daab, I didn't realise you could use brass compression fittings on presumably nylon tubing...

Got it now thanks - I didn't get that far down the somewhat huge catalogue at that time. I might see if my local Plumb Centre has similar parts...

Plumb centre doesn't stock anything small enough but the welding supplies shop just up the street sorted me out...Going to rack the stout to a Cornie this week and then give the tap a try

This Guinness tap is fantastic! It pours so smoothly. Here's a http://www.forumforfree.com/forums/inde ... ost&p=8851 to a picture of the poured pint :beer
