    these 2 have different measurements, but both say they will fit most systems.

    Actually, they just give you the dimensions of different portions of the item.

    I am currently using the Micromatic coupler & it fits both the D-Coupler & the G-Coupler that I have.

    Actually, I bought my G-Coupler on eBay for $30. Ironically, it's a Micromatic coupler. I bought it so that I could Bass Ale also.

    I would buy the 90° here. Micromatic ships very fast & it's a great website. I would also pick-up a few gaskets to have on-hand.

    thanks, i did order. the elbow, 2 washers, 2 smart strips and a brass faucet collar so it'll match some of my tap handles better.

    wow, a G for $30?
    i need to find one at that price
    how much is bass in your area?
    what size kegs.
    i can't get any 1/2 kegs that have the bulge in the middle because of my low cost kegerator the wife bought me for xmas.

    edit: nevermind i saw your post saying it was $130

    And Bass is only available in 1/2 Barrells. The keg does not have the bulge in the middle, so you should be OK.

    Go on eBay & search for "G Coupler".

    ok thanks


    yes i did search and the cheapest one is $50-something.
    there is one that is up for bids (currently @ $10), but it looks old and doesnt look like it has the barbed part for the beer line like i would need.
    it's threaded

    The G Coupler just has a body like that because it actually fits around the outside of the keg connection instead of threading inside of it.

    The barbed piece that you are looking for is a simple fitting that would thread onto the coupler. That fitting is probably available on this site for $1-3. If you can get that coupler relatively cheap, I say "Buy it."
