welcome to the boards shady. anything new that I get, clothing, dishware, linens, etc., I wash first. you probably dont have to, but what could it hurt?
From the land of pleasant living, the Chesapeake bay

It always make sense to clean the lines and faucet before using it for the first time even if you only rinse it with water.
Good luck! Built my first Kegerator in 1977 out of an old 'HotPoint' refrigerator. Fit a full 1/2 barrel inside!
