Quick disconnect K-Lok short shank 6.5mm duotight stainless steel

Usage: KegLand is proud to introduce the much-awaited Stainless Steel K-Lok Quick Disconnect Short Shank with duotight compatible hose tails. These can be modified on your existing Series 4 or Series X KegLand Kegerator or the KegLand Modular 76 Series Fonts. Ideal for those who wish to remove their taps for servicing easily, or in high traffic areas where the taps may be pulled on by those not old enough to drink!

Features: This short shank is not compatible with the NukaTap Auto Close Spring. Forget heating your hose in boiling water and stretching it over a barb. It's time-consuming, frustrating and just not worth your time. Get on the duotight train and never look back. Fast, effective and reliable! This duotight is compatible with our 6.5mm x 8mm duotight reducer as well as the 6.5mm x 9.5mm duotight reducer. Most commonly the 6.5 x 8mm is used due to 4mm and 5mm ID being the most popular for short draw systems. If you still want to do the old school method of stepless clamps, good news! You can. Just heat up the hose in boiling water and the tip of your needle nose pliers and have at it. These short shanks are suitable to attach taps to our Kegerator fonts and Modular 76 Series Fonts. Please note they stick out further than the standard Short Shanks.

Technical data: These short shanks can be used to replace the short shank on any 3" diameter tower. Item Includes: Stainless Steel Shank with a 6.5mm duotight compatible barb, K-Lok Female Quick Disconnect, 5/8" White Concave washer, 5/8" Silver Concave washer, 5/8" Stainless Nut. NOT INCLUDED but highly recommended for 8mm OD beer line: duotight - 6.5mm (1/4") x 8mm (5/16") Reducer, K-Lok Tap Shank Adaptor, NukaTap - SS (Tap Only), A tap handle of your choice.

Frequently asked questions about this product

What KegLand kegerator models can this short shank be modified to fit?

This K-Lok short shank is compatible with KegLand Series 4, Series X kegerators, and the Modular 76 Series Fonts. It allows quick tap removal and installation using duotight compatible hose tails, making beer line changes fast and drip-free.

What is the advantage of stainless steel over plastic quick disconnects?

Stainless steel provides superior durability, better resistance to cleaning chemicals, and eliminates the risk of cracking from thermal cycling. It also maintains better hygiene as bacteria cannot penetrate the non-porous surface, extending the life of your draft system.

Which duotight reducer sizes work with this short shank?

This shank is compatible with 6.5mm x 8mm and 6.5mm x 9.5mm duotight reducers, giving you flexibility to connect different beer line sizes. The duotight push-fit system requires no tools or clamps for connection.

How does the K-Lok system simplify tap maintenance?

The K-Lok quick disconnect lets you remove taps in seconds without tools — simply twist and pull. This makes deep cleaning, sanitization, and tap rotation between beer styles dramatically faster compared to traditional threaded shanks.

Does FERMETECH carry spare parts for this quick disconnect?

Yes, FERMETECH stocks replacement O-rings, duotight fittings, and K-Lok components. Regular O-ring inspection and replacement (every 6–12 months depending on use) ensures leak-free operation and optimal pour quality.
