Burco tap.

I've got a standard burco tap on my Boiler and when I do brew the tap glogs up and have to resort to syphoning out the ale.
Can I replace it a brass barrel tap or a domestic water tap.
Cheers brewers.

I seem to recall seeing a conversion involving copper tube and a ball valve , i wondered at the time why the burco had been customised and i think you have just explained it!
It was many years ago so i cannot help on which plumbing fittings in what order.
The ballvalve makes sense as you may still get clogging or dripping from trapped hops in a standard tap.

Sounds like a hop strainer would be a good option.
