Product review (4 stars): Good solution to Kegerator clearance problems
This coupler does solve the problem of clearance issues that a lot of kegerators have, when using a standard coupler on a full 1/2 barrel. It seems to be made of pretty good components, and feels sturdy.
My one problem with this coupler, is not in how it's made, but an oversight in the assembly process. I didn't realize it when I got it, but the center piece unscrews to allow for partial disassembly and cleaning. It was loose from the factory, unknown to me, and cost me a bunch of wasted beer, due to foaming. Once I found the problem, and tightened it, it works fine.
If you order one, please do yourself a favor, and check the center section, (the concave piece that contacts the ball in the keg), to make sure it is tight. It'll save you a potential headache.
