The 5-1/2" Faucet Shank with Hose Nipple & Plastic Flange (1/4" Bore) is a vital component for any kegerator or draft beer system, expertly designed to provide a reliable connection for serving high-quality beverages. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this faucet shank is built to resist corrosion and rust, ensuring long-lasting performance while preserving the integrity of your draft beer's taste. The choice of nickel-plated brass is particularly important, as traditional brass is prone to rapid corrosion due to the acidic nature of beer and wine. This corrosion can ultimately damage your faucet and compromise the flavor of the beverages being served. With this shank, you can rest assured that it will endure the demands of daily use without affecting the quality of your brews, delivering exceptional-tasting draft beer every time.
This faucet shank features a 1/4 inch bore, making it versatile and suitable for various beer dispensing setups, whether in a home kegerator or a commercial bar environment. The durable black plastic flange adds to both the aesthetic appeal and functionality, ensuring a secure fit against the mounting surface. Included in the assembly are a brass lock nut, coupling nut, snap ring, and barb nipples, providing everything you need for a straightforward installation process. The product is NSF listed, meaning it meets rigorous safety and sanitation standards, making it a reliable choice for both home brewers and commercial establishments.
Additionally, the integrated design of the shank and hose nipple is crafted to prevent leaks, helping you save on potential beer waste and maintenance costs. This feature not only improves the efficiency of your draft system but also enhances the overall user experience, ensuring that every pour is consistent and high-quality.
Installation Notes
For optimal installation, the thread-to-thread measurement of this faucet shank is 7/8 inches. It is recommended to use a 15/16 inch drill bit to create a snug, airtight fit for the shank. If you’re working with a longer shank (10 inches or more), using a 1-inch hole can assist with feeding the shank through the wall; however, this may lead to a looser fit that could be undesirable. Proper installation will ensure that your faucet shank operates efficiently, providing excellent service for all your draft beer needs.
