Anyone use a stainless gravity tap for cask from Harry Mason?

Thinking of purchasing would love feedback if you have any.

It's the exact one I've used at 2 different breweries for 8 years or so. Only problem I have is keeping the threads sparkling clean. Seems they pick up rust easily, and as such need a fair bit of attention if not used every single day. We only do cask events every 3 weeks or so.

Sure beats the hell out of breaking a plastic tap, though. When that happened to me, I paid the $250 to Banner, and vowed never to use plastic again.

EDIT: talking about the 1/100b with a 90 degree

I assume you use this tap for gravity dispense,hence the 90 fitting?

yep,
but you can easily attach the nut for doing hand pull if desired.

Never needed the hand pull though, since a cask never lasted more than an hour once tapped.

Maybe this was part of the problem:
