Food service teams gain a repeatable, serviceable connection that reduces downtime and maintains sanitary standards.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug equipment, remove parts, and disassemble the Micro Matic 4338A shank assembly for access. Scrub forged brass and plastic flange with mild detergent and warm water using a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and air dry; ensure no moisture in the 1/4" bore. Inspect coupling nut, sleeve, snap-ring, and lock nut for wear; replace faulty parts. Clean surrounding vents and fittings to prevent grease buildup, reduce fire risk, and maintain food safety and equipment efficiency.#@@#Additional Info#@#Micro Matic 4338A 8.13" shank assembly fits draft systems with a 1/4" bore. It includes a coupling nut, sleeve, snap-ring, brass lock nut, and plastic flange for reliable beverage dispensing.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop sacrificing draft quality for installation speed. This shank assembly delivers precise flow control and robust corrosion resistance in a compact package, enabling consistent pour performance for high-turn operations. Food service teams gain a repeatable, serviceable connection that reduces downtime and maintains sanitary standards.
#@@# Shank Dimensions#@#
This assembly measures 8.13 inches overall with a 1/4 inch bore, providing a standard profile that fits most underbar installations. Technicians can expect straightforward fitment where projection and bore size determine faucet alignment and hose routing.
#@@# Material Construction#@#
Engineered from forged brass, the unit resists corrosion and withstands repeated torque during service. Operators retain metal strength at connection points to prevent deformation under pressure and minimize leakage risk.
#@@# Included Components#@#
The shank ships complete with coupling nut, sleeve, snap-ring, lock nut, and a black plastic flange to simplify installation. Installers save time because they receive all mounting hardware needed for a sealed, finished connection at the cooler or tower.
#@@# Sanitary Interface#@#
The design provides a smooth bore path to limit beer line turbulence and product retention, supporting flavor integrity and sanitation procedures. Cleaning cycles and line flushes achieve more consistent results when connectors do not trap residue.
#@@# Serviceability#@#
Technicians access common wear parts without removing the entire tower, enabling targeted maintenance and faster turnaround. Replacement of the sleeve or snap-ring restores sealing performance while keeping service labor predictable.
#@@# Compatibility Range#@#
This assembly aligns with standard draft system fittings and couplers used in commercial bars, restaurants, and institutional kitchens. Beverage program managers can standardize on dimensions and components to reduce parts inventory and simplify training.
