What You Need to Know About Beer Faucets & Shanks

Two instrumental components to any draft beer system are the shank and faucet. The shank connects the beer line and the tower to allow for a solid flow of beer. Though most shanks are pretty basic, their design can vary slightly depending on the type of draft beer tower you plan on using.

For draft beer faucets, you can choose from chrome, stainless steel, brass, or plastic to find the right look. Depending on your drinking needs, we have self-closing, extended length and even nitrogen faucets specific for Guinness. We also carry faucet locks to keep any unwanted drinkers away from your taps.
