Connect Beer shank (7/8-14, 3/16 bore) to Faucet coupling nut
How to join 7/8"-14 ends, 3/16" bore and 7/8"-14 (faucet to shank), and what stops it leaking.

The two ends
- End A
- Beer shank (7/8-14, 3/16 bore) (7/8"-14 ends, 3/16" bore)
- End B
- Faucet coupling nut (7/8"-14 (faucet to shank))
- A seals on
- beer nut and washer at the back, faucet coupling nut at the front
- B seals on
- metal to metal as the nut draws the faucet body onto the shank nose
- Part needed
- none, direct fit
The front of a beer shank is 7/8-14, so a faucet coupling nut draws a standard faucet body onto the shank nose metal to metal. Pair the beer nut at the back with the faucet nut at the front for a complete shank.
The front joint seals metal to metal, so a drip here is usually a faucet not tightened home or a worn shank nose, not a missing washer. The two nuts share the 7/8-14 thread but sit on opposite ends and are not interchangeable in use.
