Rapids Beer Shank Assembly 3-1/8" x 3/16" Bore

This Beer Shank Assembly: a Closer Look

In a nutshell, the functions of a complete beer shank assembly are the following: it provides a place to attach the beer line, it provides an attachment point for the beer tap using the coupling, it provides a channel for the beer to flow through on its way to the mug, and it provides a conducive mass to help maintain the cold temperature of the beer while it is in the keg shank.

So basically the beer shank kit provides a transition between the beer tap and the faucet. There are actually three types of keg shank available in the market today: straight, nipple, and elbow shanks. Here at Rapids, we give you a large selection of keg shank units and accessories, depending on what you require for your establishment.

Chrome-Plated Brass Keg Shank

A chrome-plated keg shank like this beer shank assembly is perfect for use when you want to dispense highly acidic beer or wine. This is because the chrome-plated brass will help conduct heat away from your beer tap faster than any kinds of material, even stainless steel. It goes without saying that a chrome-plated brass beer shank kit will help keep your beer faucet nice and cool for excellent-tasting draft beer every time, with just the right head of foam.

Here at Rapids Wholesale, we also offer Co2 regulators and accessories for your beer system, manufactured by trusted brands American Beverage, Draught Tech, McDantim, and Taprite.

Installation Notes

1. The thread-to-thread measurement is 7/8”.
2. We recommend a 15/16” bit/hole for a perfect, airtight fit.
3. If you are installing a longer shank (10” or more) a 1” hole may help with feeding the shank through the wall. We caution against this as it will result in a looser fit that may be undesirable.
