Intertap chrome faucet
If you've been chasing the cleanest possible pour, this is the upgrade. The Intertap Chrome Faucet is a forward-sealing draft faucet — same design philosophy as Perlick — that closes off the beer line right at the spout. Less air contact, less stale beer in the line, less foam between sessions. The modular threaded spout accepts swappable tips so one faucet handles standard pours, growler fills, and stout pours.
Why forward-sealing
- Cleaner between pours: The seal sits at the very end of the spout, so beer doesn't sit exposed in the faucet body between pours. Result: less stale, less sticky, less stuck.
- Modular tips: Threaded spout swaps to a stout tip, growler-fill tip, or back to standard in seconds.
- Smooth action: The forward-sealing mechanism opens cleanly and closes positively — no drift, no slow drip.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this and the Standard Chrome Faucet?
The Standard Chrome is rear-sealing (cheap, simple, fine for occasional use). The Intertap is forward-sealing — cleaner pours and a modular tip system. For anyone pouring multiple times a week, the Intertap is the better long-term choice.
Are the tips included?
The standard tip ships with the faucet. Stout and growler-fill tips are sold separately as Deluxe Forward Sealing Faucet Tips.
