The American Beverage Plated Brass Beer Tap Shank is a 3-1/8-inch, heavy-duty shank with a 1/4" bore, ideal for smoothly dispensing beer or wine. Its brass-plated construction aids in faster heat dissipation compared to stainless steel, keeping the faucet cool and ensuring a foam-free pour for a refreshing, great-tasting beverage.

This shank offers a sturdy transition between the beer line and faucet, contributing to temperature maintenance and delivering an efficient pour every time. This shank also features a 7/8” thread-to-thread measurement for easy installation with a recommended 15/16" bit hole.

Installation Notes

  • Use a 15/16” drill bit for airtight installation
  • If installing longer shanks (10” or more), a 1” hole can be used but may result in a looser fit

The American Beverage Plated Brass Beer Tap Shank is crafted to deliver exceptional durability and reliability for any bar, pub, or home dispensing system. Its 3-1/8" length and 1/4" internal bore make it an ideal component for secure and efficient beer flow. This shank is brass-plated for added strength and corrosion resistance, which makes it particularly beneficial for dispensing beverages that are slightly more acidic, such as some beers, ciders, and wines. The brass finish not only provides a stylish, classic look but also enhances heat dissipation. This feature is crucial in draft systems, as it helps keep the beer cooler while preventing foam formation, resulting in a smoother, foam-free pour and an overall better tasting experience for your customers or guests.

The shank acts as a critical link between the beer line and the faucet, facilitating a smooth transition for the beer to travel from the keg to the glass. Constructed to offer durability, the brass-plated design can withstand high usage, whether in busy bars or at-home systems, without compromising its structural integrity. Additionally, the brass material’s heat conduction properties contribute to maintaining the beer’s cold temperature as it flows through the line. By keeping the beer cold all the way to the faucet, this shank minimizes temperature fluctuations that can negatively impact beer quality and taste.

The American Beverage shank design is thoughtfully constructed to enhance easy installation, with threading that allows a precise and secure fit. For optimal results, it’s recommended to use a 15/16” hole for installation, which ensures an airtight fit and helps prevent leaks. This sizing offers the best balance of security and ease of installation, although for longer shanks, a slightly larger hole can be used to accommodate the shank without compromising stability. Overall, this brass beer shank combines practical design with quality construction, ensuring a long-lasting solution for draft beer systems that prioritize taste, temperature stability, and smooth pouring.
