At UBC Group USA, we offer a wide variety of beer faucet shanks and faucet accessories designed primarily for commercial use, including some custom solutions to suit any draft beer system.
A shank plays quite an important role in the dispensing process. It connects the rest of the system to the tap and the faucet via beer lines.
A typical draft beer tap shank may seem to be a pretty basic piece of equipment. Still, shanks do have their own quirks and features one should know about when shopping for a beer tower shank.
Speaking of the shank itself, it is essentially a threaded metal tube made of stainless steel that runs either through a freezer/refrigerator wall, jockey box or the top of the draft tower. One end of a shank features a female thread for the beer line and a male thread for the faucet.
Shanks may be sold separately (just the tube) or in the form of a shank assembly (contains all the parts required for connection). Needless to say, you can find plenty of both options available on our website.
When it comes to serving the perfect pint, the installation of a quality kegerator shank is essential.
A shank acts as the connecting point between your draft dispensing system and the faucet, ensuring that your beverage flows smoothly from keg to glass. Proper installation not only enhances the efficiency of your draft system but also plays a crucial role in maintaining the beer's flavor and carbonation.
Here are the main steps of the shank installation process:
In a typical draft beer dispensing system, the shank is a connecting piece that has a beer line (most commonly, running 5 feet in length) that screws onto the top of the keg coupler attached to it.
A typical beer shank consists of the following elements (which may slightly differ depending on the shank type):
Even though shanks are generally a highly reliable piece of equipment, you should always have some of these replacement parts available since you need to change them due to wear and tear. Plus, sometimes you don't need the whole shank, and this is where draft beer shank parts may come in handy.
Needless to say, you can get all these parts directly from UBC Group USA at very competitive prices. Being a large manufacturer of beer dispensing parts and accessories, we can also offer you a whole beer tower shank assembly or even a beer faucet shank assembly.
UBC Group USA offers beer shanks of various styles, sizes, and configurations to match any draft beer dispensing setup. You can also get a beer faucet with shank combo or simply shop different parts, including a beer shank nut, flange, ring, etc.
