This stainless steel Kegco shank is 3 1/2" long measured from the end of the threading to the end where the faucet attaches. Stainless Steel has a strongly bonded oxide layer, so it is less susceptible to attack by acids, making it ideal for wine and cider dispensing in addition to beer. A shank is used to attach a beer line to a faucet. The shank is mounted through a 1" hole in a wall, refrigerator door, cabinet, etc. The stainless steel shank comes with a black flange on the front and a compression ring on the back. The compression ring is used to secure the shank to the mounting surface. All shanks come fitted with a tail piece for beer line connection. The shank has a 3/16" hose nipple to attach a standard beer line. Faucet is not included. Larger and smaller sizes are available. NSF approved.

Great shank with one exceptionTop quality shank, well machined. Measurements on diagram picture are correct. Minor discrepancy is the lock nut is most likely stainless steel, not brass...a good thing. Not a bad thing but something to be prepared for...the lock nut requires a 1 1/8 inch wrench to tighten. Standard wrenches sold with the faucet nut wrench on one side and the lock nut on the other are only good for the faucet nut. There are plenty of wrenches out there that will do the job, just not any of the standard wrenches sold for this purpose.
