Contact our team via live chat, email or phone - we’ll be there in an instant to provide you with professional consult and assistance.

What Is a Beer Faucet?

A draft beer faucet may look like a pretty basic piece of equipment but we know that there is no such thing as “unimportant” when it comes to beer dispensing.

The standard beer faucet is made of brass or chrome-plated brass. It features a ⅜’’ threaded lever for tap handles that pull forward to pour and push back to stop the flow of beer. It attaches to the shank or tower via a coupling nut and tightens with a spanner wrench.

Beer Faucet Parts

A typical beer tap faucet consists of the following parts (top to bottom):

  • Collar
  • Bonnet
  • Friction washer
  • Ball washer
  • Lever
  • Shaft
  • Shaft seat
  • Shaft nut
  • Tap handle

Needless to say, you can get any and all of these parts from BeverageCraft - head over to our “Faucet Parts & Accessories” section.

Types of Beer Faucets

In addition to the standard brass variety, beer tap faucets can also be made of stainless steel. A stainless steel beer faucet looks very similar to the standard brass or chrome-plated brass models.

However, this type of faucet presents a more hygienic solution that offers a cleaner pour, which is a must for use with wine, cocktail, and coffee dispensing as the acidity in these beverages will corrode a plated brass faucet affecting the taste of the beverage being poured.

Other interesting varieties of faucets are:

  • Self-closing faucet. Self-closing faucets have a spring-loaded shaft that allows the handle to close immediately upon release
  • Perlick beer faucet. This type of faucets is also known as “forward sealing beer faucet.” It is different from the standard beer faucet as it features a forward sealing design, which minimizes oxygen exposure in your faucet creating a more hygienic pour with less chance of microbial growth
  • Flow control faucet. This type of faucets allows you to regulate the pouring speed on the side of the faucet while maintaining the same PSI levels in the beer flow. They are perfect for filling tasting glasses and growlers
  • Stout beer faucet. It is used for pouring nitrogen-dispensed beer, most notably Guinness

These are the main beer faucet types you may encounter. Head over to our “Beer Faucets” section to choose the best beer tap faucet or a beer faucet kit for your draft beer system.

What Is a Beer Shank?

A beer shank is another essential component of a draft beer dispensing system. It is a threaded metal tube that connects to the beer line and runs either through your refrigerator or the top of your draft tower.

One end of a beer shank features a female thread for the beer line and the other features a male thread for the faucet.

The beer shank serves as a transition point between the faucet and the beer line. It conducts cold perfectly allowing you to maintain the proper temperature of beer as it flows all the way from the keg to the beer tower.

As with beer faucets, shanks come in two main varieties:

  • Chrome-plated brass shanks
  • Stainless steel shanks

Head over to our “Beer Shanks Assembly” section to choose the beer shank for your draft beer dispensing system.
