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.

so they're the same, but just giving different info? weird.

so i should buy the one from here? did u also get your g coupler from here. i like bass, so if i ever get that, i would need a g right?

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

[Grande]

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."

i just made that order yesterday and MM already has it shipped and it's supposed to come today ups.

awesome
