Is it possibe to get a second nozzle for this tap without the restrictor plate so I can use the same faucet for CO2 beers when not using nitrogen?

To use a Guinness faucet you need a "U" tap and "U" taps do not work on regular CO2 beer. Do a google search on beer tap types.

I'm pretty sure you don't need a second nozzle. You should be able to remove the restrictor plate from the nozzle and put it back when you use nitro

I just remove the nozzle and pour away! It's about the same size as my other taps.

I am sure you can. Just try to get as close to the GPH that the old one was. You may have to rig up a hose to fit the nozzle but that shouldn't be that hard. Have you tried to contact the manufacturer? They might sell you a replacement although it might be more expensive than an aftermarket one.

The co2 from brewing will create enough pressure to force the liquid out first, since the intake valve is at the bottom of the tank. The co2 cartridge is really a propellant, push the liquid out but not altering the co2 content of the liquid. You want to have o2 in the tank for brewing, but once you "tap" the tank, clear the lines, and "charge" it with co2, the o2 is gone and it won't ferment

There are faucet locks available as others have said. Shutting off co2 won't stop the pressurized keg from releasing beer

You should be able to find the Ball lock (Female) connectors on Amazon. You will need a set. 1 Black one for the beer side and 1 Gray one for the co2. You will want to check your hose inside diameter (ID) because the hose barbs on the Ball Lock connectors come in a couple different sizes. If you cannot find them on Amazon. I buy all my brew supplies from Austin Home Brew Supplies and I know they have them.

Mark is correct....I have (6) 525ss and easily have enough head on my draft beers. I had cheaper taps and had all sorts of problems with them locking up especially with the higher gravity beers that I tend to favor. Not a bit of problems with the Perlick 525 faucets

There is a pressure release valve on the top that allows the liquid to come out of the tap at the bottom. You might be able to remove that and reuse it, but I'm not sure that it would work.

The threads on the top (as shown in the side view picture) are for the beer line. Get the adapter you need for you beer line. It will have a large nut with a compression washer to seal it. The CO2 connection is the barb fitting pointing off to the right. It fit right on my air hose I already had for home brews 5/16" ID.

is your brewer a bunn hi velocity? if so; call them and they will send you a free sprayhead restrictor. this will slow down the water to prevent overflow. had the same experiences when i bought my bunn. go to www.bunn.com or call them at 800-352-bunn (2866). if not, call your manufacturer, they may have this too, or another solution.

Any comments on the pin being hard to push? I cannot get any CO2 in the bottle.

the only other thing then the splatter, you are going to need to get an adapter for the bottle, i picked mine up at my suppliers for about $17-18.00 . i did see one on amazon and ebay for the same price. just look for a co2 tank-argon tank adapter. one set of threads are in and the other is out for saftey

Yes. Just twist it closed. You may not want to leave the tap on and nozzle closed long term but it does close the water off at the nozzle.

Faucet meets all compliance issues but is for a one hole installation only. You might be able to buy separately a base plate to cover, but it does not come with one. Ps. This faucet is amazing - well worth the money

Yes. Buy something like this http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/regulator/component/secondary_beer_regulator_connector_nipple_left.shtmlRemove the high pressure gage from the first and the inlet from the second and but this in it's place. Note the thread on the high pressure gage is left handed.

It's actually two separate pieces and yes, it can be installed without the deck plate. However, if you have 3 hole faucets you will need to buy a 8" or 10" deck plate. This bundled deck plate is too short to cover a 3 hole faucet installation.

No you do not need one at the faucet. I installed one at the faucet as a safeguard and it lowered the pressure too low.

Not sold as part of this faucet, but I would contact the mfg. to see if they offer something for this. Mine was going in a new install, so I only had the one hole drilled.
