BGM Fast Flow Tap

[Jimmy D]

Quick visual inspection of this, as it just arrived.

I bought a SIP fast flow tap recently and was surprised how flimsy it felt. The copper tube was too long for a smallie, the tap had rough casting edges etc and when I tried to tighten it by gripping the tap the hose attachment section snapped off! Shitty casting, shitty product IMO.

This BGM one feels a thousand times better constructed, really nice clean casting. The valve is really easy to turn, and the lack of breather tube will definitely help fitting, too.

Will follow up with a full review when I finally get it all working.

Must admit I've not heard many good things about the SIP tap.
Decided on a Reedspeed one myself.

Ah, just looked at a photo on Reedspeed's site and it's exactly the same as the BGM, even has the same letters engraved on the back of it!

So it is, never noticed!
Ah well, at least I know it's a good tap then, heard loads of positives about it

Looks good like a vespa fixing to a lammy style tap ;-)

I got 2 off those
works great

one thing you shall find out is that the "reserve" is a good deal greater
ie... "it" happens sooner and since the R is a greater amount of fuel you have more time to find a gas station

they flow more than a pint per min which is nice

Funny you should mention the sip one, mine also had to have the breather shortened, but that one looks better.
