Pipe Fittings

There are several styles of pipe fittings out there that we (and you can) use to make industrial beer tap handles out of. Using our signature beer ferrules (that adapt 3/8" pipe fittings to beer faucets), you can create your own industrial beer tap handle out of pipe fittings. We have black iron, brass, and galvanized iron ferrules available for sale: ferrules.

On this page, we go over some of the different types including variations in size and threading.
