Ideal for stainless nukatap

"Necessary gear, so easy to use with the duotight fittings, a little fiddly to put inside the font but make sure you put the pieces in the right orientation!"

Raymond S. (5/5)

NukaTap Short Shank

"Fits 1 to 3 tap fonts well. The radius of the whit nylon piece and the matching radius of the chrome outer font piece seems to be different (too small) for the 8 tap T bar font. still works but isn't as good of a fit."
