American Beverage Plated Brass Beer Tap Shank | 3-1/8" x 3/16" Bore

Brass-Plated Faucet Shank

A brass-plated beer shank kit will help keep your beer tap nice and cool for a guaranteed foam-free pour and—by extension—great-tasting beer.

A Closer Look at The Beer Tap Shank

Essentially, the beer tap shank provides a transition between the beer line and the faucet. There are generally three types of faucet shank available in the market today: straight beer, nipple, and elbow. Here at Rapids Wholesale, you can choose from a wide variety of faucet shank units and accessories, depending on what you require.

In a nutshell, the functions of a complete beer shank kit are the following: it provides a place to attach the beer line, it provides an attachment point for the faucet 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 beer tap shank.

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.
