Default Try Lee Valley

Hi Brad

Lee Valley ahs a full brass model......but the outlet is thread for a garden hose and may be slightly smaller.

Try contacting LV, they may tell you who the supplier is..... probably offshore.... but Alex is correct in calling them Barrel taps.....

Another source would be a recycler that caters to removing old washroom plumbing... there is a huge market for olf claw foot bathtubs and the appropriate period taps..... what you may find is a chrome plated similar model that will require some sandblasting to let the OD paint stick. TRy a search on antique barfroom fixtures/plumbing....

The trick will be the single handle.

...by the by...... did you finally get the beast home.....?

..and have you figured out how many barrells of draft beer it canhold....?

Boob
