You'll want to get a faucet wrench to take the taps apart for cleaning. A faucet brush isn't a bad idea either. You'll also need some clamps for all of your lines. I think that covers the big stuff - you got a link for this thing so we can all take a look?

KegeratorHere is the unit I ordered from Beverage Factory....I would imagine I can pick the wrench and brushes up at a hardware store or my LHBS?

Next time you are at the hardware store pick up a generic spray bottle. Fill it with starsan.Thank me later.

I don't think Home Depot or Lowes would sell the faucet wrench... pick it up at your LHBS. Should cost you welll under $5.00. A funny looking little thing, but necessary to tighten the faucets onto the tower. You don't want to use a traditional wrench or vice grip for that job.

I'd recommend one like one of these: LINKEither of the ones with the blue grips are nice b/c they help you get the shank off the tower as well.

+1I got a cheap ass stamped faucet wrench at my LHBS many moons ago. It was probably $5 and it looks like it should cost $0.99, but it will last forever because you really don't need to tighten the faucets much at all. The have a rubber gasket in them, you only need to compress the gasket a little bit to get a seal. If you find yourself having to really crank it down to get a seal you probably need a new gasket.

+1 I have the faucet and hex wrench and both sides come in handy.
