The durable black plastic flange completes the assembly, making it a practical choice for both home brewers and commercial applications.
The American Beverage Plated Brass Beer Tap Shank is an essential component for any draft beer system, featuring a length of 5-1/8 inches and a 3/16" bore diameter. This assembled beer tap shank is designed to create a reliable transition between the beer line and faucet, ensuring a smooth and efficient flow of beer from the keg to your glass. With its black plastic flange, this tap shank not only offers durability but also a sleek look that complements any bar setup.
Crafted from brass and plated for added durability, this tap shank is particularly well-suited for dispensing highly acidic beverages such as certain types of beer and wine. The brass material is adept at conducting heat away from the beer faucet more effectively than stainless steel, which helps maintain the beer at an optimal temperature for a foam-free pour. This feature is crucial for achieving the best flavor profile and overall drinking experience for your guests.
In terms of functionality, the beer tap shank serves multiple purposes: it provides a secure attachment point for the beer line, connects to the faucet via the coupling, and facilitates a channel for the beer to flow smoothly. This complete beer shank kit ensures that your tap system operates efficiently while keeping the beer cold throughout its journey from keg to glass.
Installation of the beer tap shank is straightforward, with a thread-to-thread measurement of 7/8”. For optimal results, a 15/16” bit/hole is recommended for a snug, airtight fit. If you are working with longer shanks of 10 inches or more, using a 1-inch hole may ease installation, though care should be taken as this may lead to a looser fit.
In summary, the American Beverage Plated Brass Beer Tap Shank combines durable construction with practical design features to enhance your beer dispensing system. Its ability to conduct heat away from the faucet and maintain beer temperature makes it an excellent choice for both commercial and home brewing setups. Elevate your draft beer experience with this reliable and efficient tap shank, ensuring every pour is cold, crisp, and free of foam.
