304 Stainless Steel Faucet Cleaning Adapter – 5/16″ Barb x Male Beer Faucet Thread (MBFT)

Description

This professional-grade cleaning adapter is precision-machined from 304-grade stainless steel to provide a sanitary, corrosion-proof connection for flushing draught lines. Designed to screw directly onto the standard 1-1/8″ – 18 faucet threads of a beer shank or tower, this adapter replaces the faucet during the cleaning cycle. The 5/16″ hose barb allows for a direct, high-volume connection to recirculating pumps or pressurized cleaning canisters, ensuring a turbulent flow that effectively strips beer stone and organic buildup from the entire beverage circuit.

• Material: Food-Grade 304 Stainless Steel (Superior to Chrome-Plated Brass)
• Inlet Connection: Standard Male Beer Faucet Thread (MBFT) 1-1/8″ – 18 UNEF
• Outlet Connection: 5/16″ OD Hose Barb
• Durability: Completely resistant to aggressive alkaline and acid-based line cleaners
• Application: Direct-to-shank flushing for commercial towers, wall shanks, and jockey boxes
• Sanitation: Non-porous surface prevents bacterial harborage and flavor carry-over

Technician’s Note: The 304 Stainless Steel construction is highly recommended over brass versions if you frequently use “Heavy Duty” caustic cleaners or acid descalers. While chrome-plated brass can eventually pit or peel, exposing lead-bearing brass to your cleaning chemicals, this stainless adapter remains inert. For a leak-proof seal, ensure the internal faucet gasket (friction washer) is in place inside the shank before threading the adapter on; hand-tightening is usually sufficient to prevent bypass leaks during high-pressure recirculating cleans.
