NukaTap® Stainless Steel Beer Faucet | Flow Control Gen 2 | Forward Sealing

    Description

    • G2 model features redesigned flow control mechanism for improved shank sealing and flow control
    • Make instant adjustments to beverage flow as you pour
    • Switch from pouring pints to filling growlers without adjusting your CO2 regulator
    • 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

    Generation 2
    The NukaTap Flow Control G2 uses a completely new flow control mechanism with better sealing properties against the shank as well as improved flow control.

    Control the Flow
    The flow control model is a great option for users that often switch between beer styles with different carbonation levels. No need to rebalance your lines or play with your regulator settings. Instantly make adjustments as you pour to dial in the flow rate. This is also a super convenient feature for when you want to grab a quick growler on your way out. By dialing back the flow rate, you can gently fill your growler so CO2 stays in solution and your beer doesn't pour flat when it comes time to share. The NukaTap Flow Control faucet is also the first FC model to be fully compatible with the optional self-closing spring.

    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

        Not a Fan

        I purchased two of these when I needed to replace one of my taps. They have not helped with minimizing foam. I have used then and worked with them for a few months and I feel a regular tap gives me a better pour.

        Well built functioning fine after years of use

        Not much more to say than in my title. Easy to use solidly built and works great.

        Good bracket poor assembly. 5min fix.

        The sheet metal stamping is fine. The mounting slots are comically huge but usable. Be prepared to fix the bracket when you receive it because as far as I can tell KOMOS doesn't have a square in the factory and an overzealous brake press. They also do not have enough voltage to do a tac weld. When you get the bracket easily pull the welds apart set the bend to square and then drill retention holes for bolting shelf to backing. So far I have Performed this procedure twice.

        Incredible tap - so happy I opted for this over the mini. The flow control works wonderfully and it's extremely easy to clean

        Works well but doesn't fit every keg and is a bit flimsy.

        Pours great samples with no exessive foam partly in thanks to the adjustable valve. Pours better and faster than the Picnic Tap 2.0 !! I will say that it does feel flimsy though and I worry about the faucet snapping off from the QD if bumped too hard. Also the QD is too 'short' and doesn't clear the handles of my 1-gallon kegs that have a 360° rubber handle top. This product only fits common kegs where there is a gap between handles near the posts.

        Best purchase yet

        I ferment and serve without ever transferring my beer off the yeast cake. This is perfect for that! I'll never go back

        Wonderful

        My family is loving our built in sparkling water. I installed it under the counter it was simple to install and works great. It does take up a decent amount of space so make sure you measure. I would definitely buy again!!!

        Working Well for me after a Fix

        I have 4 of these 2 leaked. The 'return ' spring appears to hold the tap shuttle pin open FIX: REMOVED THE SPRING no more leaking. All 4 of mine have return spring removed all working great. Yes cost more then Tap-it but I had many issues with the tap leaking and flow control.. Tried to work with designer made repairs some work OK but 3 of the 4 I have are not working. I believe the extra cost of this tap is worth itWrite your review here. It must be at least 20 characters long. Consider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or dislike about it.

        So far So good

        I am dispnesing water and beverages not beer from pet bottles that I carbonate at 45 psi. I have about a 2 - 2 1/2 ft line. The control is good. The first blast is pretty powerful but does not blow out of the glass and then you can ease back on the trigger and pour a great glass of highly carbonated water or mixed drink. Does not drip more than a drop after releasing the trigger. Beats the hell out of a picnic tap and holds higher pressures. I will be trying them on kegs tomorrow and probably post again.

        Works great - Would buy again (if it was in stock)

        This was a great purchase for my simple setup which is just a keg in an unmodified fridge. I was using a long length of tubing and a picnic tap and this is such a better option. Hope they're back in stock soon.

        So much better than a picnic tap.

        No drips and plenty of mod options!

        Works perfectly with a lot less leaking dripping and stickiness compared to a standard tap. I also appreciate the flexibility to switch out spouts for growler filling and the optional spring that I put in everyone one of my taps. Worth the investment.

        Affordable and good enough

        I appreciate that these exist because it made it affordable for me to keep several different beers at different pressures. However it can be difficult to really dial in a pressure because the gauge is too small. If the gauge only went up to 40 30 or heck even 20 psi it would be so much easier to use! (I would prefer 30-40 though because I quick carb)

        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.

        Awesome but get the D1415 connector

        Very well built easy to clean and use. Love the ball lock connections it comes with. REMEMBER that if you're using a kegerator you'll probably need the Low Profile connector for the beer/top ball lock (if using corny or 1/6 kegs it'll be too tall to fit. MoreBeer's part is D1415. Worth it and thank you to the other reviewer for the heads up!). Would highly recommend.

        Awesome faucet no alloyed metals to deteriorate.

        I bought one of these 6 months ago to use with a faucet adapter and ball lock QD to dispense right off a corny keg. Item KEG900https://www.morebeer.mom/products/corny-keg-disconnect-faucet-adapter.html I might complain some about the adapter that I wish it was knurled because it's hard to tighten without using a pliers and scratching it. But that's not the faucet's fault. This faucet is 100% 304 SS and cleans beautifully with just PBW. It seals perfectly and operates smooth I see a few reviewers say it's sticky but you need to coat the internal parts with CIP film before assembling and it'll work like butter. Stainless on Stainless is famous for galling and sticking so yes without some food grade grease on it it would be a little sticky. Doesn't have to be. PS. I have 4 Perlick 650SS's and they stick too if they're not greased properly. Any faucet will.

        Decent Faucet

        I bought 3 of these faucets to replace the faucets that came with my kegerator kit. The original faucets would stick and become difficult to move if not used for a day. These faucets are always smooth but they lack a positive feel. E.g. when you close them it doesn't feel like they're going to stay closed. I'd give them an extra star but these faucets like to leak after pouring a beer. Most times they just drip a few times but occasionally they let out a big splash.

        Frustratingly functional

        The outer thread on these are pretty aggressive next time I'd go with a 5/8" drilled hole. My 1/2" (largest in a home bit set) were straight enough but once the first half of a thread caught purchase the whole piece cocked to the side. I should have reset it that's on me. I'm happy they weren't so aggressive that they split my mahogany. Similar to a 2013 review two of my three notches sheared off and I couldn't get these lined up with the icons correctly so I'll need to attempt to undo those and pick up another couple. Anyways they got the job done for now. Very sloppy (cocked to the side not lined up properly brass thread still showing) but done.

        Great Replacement

        I bought this for my Keg King Series 4 kegerator and it dropped in like the original part and works like a charm.

        Quality regulator poor design

        It does the job just fine for me. I am missing the shutoff valve right below it. The big fail is the angle of that top line pressure valve. It gets in the way of a wrench. It makes it more difficult to turn on and off gas. The plus side is the line attached to the bottom is positioned away from the 50 gal C02 tank we use. We've gone through 30+ taprites 10+ micromatics at this facility and this is my least favorite even though it performs flawlessly. The design is bad. We use it for pouring kegs exclusively. For a homebrewer its manageable and designed with homebrewing in mind. The ability to switch parts out easily seems great. The knob for adjusting c02 is my favorite. (We typically use higher pressures for water at his facility)

        Keep those lines clean

        Worse thing you can do is make a really nice beer and tap that keg with dirty lines. This makes cleaning and sanitizing the lines easy. If you ever had a draft beer at a bar that did not taste quite right most likely the lines are dirty maybe even moldy you don't want that on your beer!

        Need more red rings

        The kit is fine but it should include a dozen of the red rings because out of three new Nuka taps ordered with my Komos kegerator all three had broken red rings when I disassembled them to clean between kegs. After a year of this problem have started replacing them with the regular black rubber o-rings with a somewhat better result.

        Works perfectly once you get the right parts.

        Ordered this kegland D-style coupler with the plans to swap out the barbs for flares to use it with my jockey box at beer events. Unfortunately the shoulder on the kegland barb fittings and the opening on the tailpiece nuts that came with these couplers are both narrower than the standard. When I tried to swap the flare fittings sold here the nuts did not fit over the ends and I had to source standard nuts locally. If you want to swap to flares make sure to purchase standard tailpiece nuts as well (item D1740). I suggested to customer service that they make a note on this item but am posting this review in the meantime.

        Is it possible to attach this to an Edgestar Keggerator? if so what other parts are needed?
