What makes the NUKATAP different among the older manufactured styles of taps on the market?

First Pour Foam Reduction: The reduction in thermal mass significantly reduces the first pour foam effect. The tap is often the warmest part of the draft system as it protrudes from the font/tower/fridge. As a result, it acts like a heat sink and only works well once enough cold beer flows through it to cool the tap body down. This reduction of thermal mass significantly improves the foam that is poured while the tap is cooling down.

Laminar Flow: The NUKASHUTTLE design is the world's first seamless shuttle. After many months of modeling and testing this new "NUKE" shaped shuttle design has the most fluid dynamic shuttle shape ever manufactured for a forward sealing tap. The streamline "nuke/missile" shape is how this new innovation earned its name "NUKATAP". This leap forward in laminar flow means even highly carbonated beers pour like a dream with minimal turbulence and giving you the perfect pour every time.

Most Sanitary Design: The NUKASHUTTLE is the world's first seamless single-piece design. Traditional taps have a seal that is seated on a stainless-steel body creating small fissures that harbor solids, are potential sites for infection, and are not as ideal for clean in place (CIP). The NUKASHUTTLE is an advanced TPV rubber matrix that has been seamlessly formed over a durable PP skeleton. This single-piece design takes away the traditional fissures found in older manufacturing methods.

Long Life Seals: Unlike many other taps that use rubbers that can be degraded with caustic and acid compounds, the NUKATAP has been made to suit a wide range of conditions. It's becoming more common to see sour beers/kombucha and other acetic and lactic acid beverages dispensed using draft systems. These acids, in particular, could cause an attack on the sealing compounds resulting in downtime, loss of product and reduced maintenance intervals. The NUKATAP solves this problem and is the most chemically resistant tap we have ever manufactured.

Tap Handle Angle - 2.5° Reverse Angle: The new NUKATAPS have been manufactured with a 2.5 degree reverse angle. This allows for a wider range of tap handles to be used, in particular, long and/or heavy handles to work perfectly irrespective of the installation conditions.

Forward Sealing Design: Just like the Intertap and its predecessors, the NUKATAP shuts off the flow at the front of the tap which in turn keeps wild yeast and bacteria out of the interior of the tap body. Put end to substandard beer and only use the all-new NUKATAP.

Generation 2 Stealth Bomber Coating: The Generation 2 Stealth Bomber has undergone a "QPQ Process" - Quench-Polish-Quench (QPQ) is a metal surface treatment process used to improve the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and durability of steel components.
