NukaTap® Stainless Steel Beer Faucet | Forward Sealing

    Description

    • Newest faucet design on the market!
    • Reduced first pour foam due to low thermal mass
    • Forward-sealing design prevents beer residue from gumming up the faucet
    • Unique shuttle design greatly improves laminar flow, improving the pour of carbonated beverages
    • Compatible with all Intertap faucet accessories and shanks

    First Pour Foam Reduction
    Every kegerator owner knows the letdown of pouring your first pint of the day and getting too much foam. Even with perfectly balanced draft lines, first pour foam is sometimes unavoidable simply due to the temperature of the faucet itself. Running beer through the faucet will drop the temperature, and the foaming will subside, but not without a bit of wasted beer from pouring off excess head. The NukaTap beer faucet drops to beer serving temperature much faster thanks to its lower thermal mass. Simply put, the bulkier the faucet is, the more beer is needed to flow through and chill the tap. The NukaTap is over 20% lighter than its Intertap predecessor, and even lighter still compared to other brands of faucets.

    Improved Laminar Flow
    The inspiration for the NukaTap name comes from its uniquely designed "nuke-shaped" shuttle that resides on the inside of the faucet. The NukaShuttle went through numerous rounds of redesigns and countless hours of testing to find a shape that provides superior laminar flow. This means that liquid passes by the shuttle with very little resistance, allowing highly carbonated beers or hard seltzers to pour like a dream.

    Sanitary Design
    The NukaShuttle is the world’s first seamless single-piece design. Traditional taps feature an o-ring seated on a stainless steel shuttle, which can cause a couple of issues. After many pours, the stainless shuttle rubbing against the internal body of the faucet will create small fissures that become potential infection sites, and the seated o-ring can be difficult to clean in place, making your draft cleaning and sanitizing process less effective than you realize. The NukaShuttle is an advanced TPV rubber matrix that has been seamlessly formed over a durable PP skeleton. This single-piece design eliminates the pitfalls of older manufacturing methods, making it one of the most sanitary faucets on the market.

    Forward Sealing vs. Rear Sealing
    From tap rooms to home bars, forward-sealing faucets are the ideal choice for any draft setup. In traditional rear-sealing taps, beer will drain out of the entire faucet when it's in the closed position. This means the internal mechanism is coated in beer, which then dries and becomes a sticky residue. Forward-sealing faucets, on the other hand, keep the tap full of beer so it never has a chance to dry and gunk up the internal parts. This makes the faucet much easier to clean and also reduces the chance of off flavors transferring to your beer while you pour.

    • Made from stainless steel
    • Shuttle made from TPV
    • O-rings made from EPDM

        I love this tap flow is great and it never sticks! Only issue is the red cup seal keeps cracking. They only sell the seal kit($5.00) online but if you call customer support they sell them individually($1.99). I bought a handfull of them. Otherwise it would get 5 stars

        Under pressure

        I've done a few batches ion this so far. Works great. I haven't had a problem removing the lid yet. It needs to be kind of hard to remove to keep pressure Right? It kinda suck to clean but I got some neat brushes off amazon that fit the curve pretty well.

        Great for the homebrewer!

        I went away from bucket fermenters so I could brew better IPAs. Using the coil temp control is super easy and simple. No O2 exposure when dry hopping with magnets andpressure keg transfers simplifies the whole process. You must ensure there are no air leaks which can be annoying but take your time tighten everything carefully and check using StarSan solution in a spray bottle. Like any homebrew system it just takes a little effort for excellent results.

        Really Enjoying Them!

        It has been a few weeks now since I’ve been enjoying the stainless steel Nukataps. I like their versatility with being able to switch out spouts and that they’re forward sealing. Easy to install the four taps and springs on my two kegerators.

        Great performance and aesthetics

        Amazing faucets. Great laminar flow and very little foam on first pours due the low thermal mass. These are very easy to disassemble and clean and the different faucet attachments are a nice feature as well.

        Love everything except the expiration date

        Would have been 5 starts bit getting it with only 4 or 5 months from the expiration of the hydro testing is frustrating. I guess I will have to test it here soon. Other than that it really is a great fermentation container.

        Smoother pours with less foam

        Great looking faucet flows much smoother than the one originally on my kegerator.

        Could be better

        At first, I loved these because the eliminated the sticking issue with rear-sealing faucets, and also seemed to create less foam... but then I started seeing slow leaks, and if you tighten down the lever too much it breaks the plastic red sealing cups.. I replaced one Nuka with a Perlick and it's been great for more than six months now... Now the other Nuka I had left is leaking too.. I can't recommend these.

        Enjoy having a real faucet!

        Recently made the transition from picnic tap to a real faucet on my Keezer. I researched several faucets and kept coming back to Nukatap; I liked the fit and finish, availability of spare parts, spout options, and the price. I thought seriously about flow control but decided to keep things simple. I went with 5.5 feet of 4mm ID EVA tubing but need to add just a little more (I'm running 11 psi at 36F and end up with about 2 inches of foam).

        Awesome!

        Awesome faucet! Doesn't stick, even when it sits for a few days. Pours perfect with the correct line length. Very happy with these.

        Great taps for home use and when cleaning your beer lines.

        Very happy with the initial install and use! Smooth operation and clean cut off so far. I cleaned my beer lines for the first time with these faucets installed, clearly superior to doing the same thing with front sealing faucets which leaked terribly during flushing process.

        They are Great, Self closing, Great Design, Great Looking and Great Price

        What else can I say. Have had Perlick taps for about 8 years, Stainless. But they leaked, Or the would open with a tap handle. I got real tired of beer on the floor. I found the Nakataps, read the review, Talked to the advisor for More Beer and placed my order. They came, and after a cleaning, installed the first tap to give it a try. WOW, I use a hand made tap handle, this tap slams shut with authority, not ONE drip. I was sold, heck there is a money back return.I cleaned up and polished my Perlick taps, Put them in the bubble wrap bags, Took them to my brew club meeting and sold them for what i paid for the Kukatap's They were pleased with the great deal. I got the best deal though. Buy these taps,

        Perfect pour

        I bought a used kegerator that had a normal faucet on it and every time I went to use it it would get stuck and wouldn’t pour consistently. The Nukatap is fantastic, never stuck always pours a perfect pint. With the previous faucet I had to pour at 10+ psi, with the Nukatap my psi is set at 5 and pours wonderfully. Will definitely buy again when I get more taps.
