Link Posted: Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:30 pm Post subject: 8 Tap Setup Suggestions |
|
|
Looking for some ideas from others here.
I am designing / building my kitchen tap setup. It will have 8 taps, specifically Perlick 630's in Brass. My plan is for essentially using a cherry wood with brass accent. The overall surrounding will be wood, and brass for the taps and the drip tray. This will be a very 'warm' look. Also note that I will be running the taps out from the wall, as opposed to using a tower. This is primarily due to the fact that I need to limit intruding into the kitchen as much as possible.
So, my initial request for ideas is around the tap setup. I was initially considering the instinctive approach and running all 8 taps horizontally, equally spaced at 3 inches. And for the drip tray, 26 or 30 inches.
An alternative that I like, conceptually, is to break this up to 4 taps on the left, 4 on the right. Still spaced at 3 inches, but the two 4 tap segments may be separated by 6 inches or so. I would then most likely use 2 drip trays, maybe around 14 inches each, separated as well. And in between, some simple design element.
So, any takers on thoughts, ideas, etc. on how you would set this up if you had to do this? Any suggestions welcome. (Except for my wife's - she content with using the picnic taps currently in the keezer. )

No pics or anything really that I could find. Just conceptual from my end, and seems this may be a little unique. (But I find that hard to believe.) Looking for any ideas, suggestions. I am leaning towards two sets of 4 taps in each set. Taps at 3 inches apart, and the 2 sets of 4 maybe about 6 inches apart. Underneath, at about 10 - 12 inches, I like the idea of a single 30 inch long drip tray.
Wish I had some visuals, I know. But to be honest, I am not opposed to ripping it out once if the end result doesn't look good. (But would rather not!)

Oh, so you're suggesting I should ask her first .....
Actually, she likes the idea. And I don't ask anymore. After 37 years, it's my turn to agree to something and then do the complete opposite

Perhaps some pics of your area would help people make a suggestion. Either way please document this.
How are you going to ID the taps. I am just thinking some of the common ways wouldn't fit in the kitchen.

I will take pics for sure. I landed on the 8 taps with 3 inch spacing on the centers, spaced in two groups of 4 with a 6 inch gap on the centers. For the drip tray, one single 30 inch. Looks to fit nicely and will do round two of the prototyping this weekend.
Have all the pieces except for the 20# bottle, and that should be coming soon.
