NUKATAP FC Tap Only (Stainless Steel) - Forward Sealing Tap
What makes the NUKATAP different among the older manufactured styles of taps on the market?
The Nukatap FC (Flow Control) model is latest technology in flow control tap design giving you all the advantages of a forward sealing tap however still allowing you to control the flow speed using a simple flow control leaver on the right hand side of the tap. This makes balancing your beer lines a snap. This type of tap is typically suited to customers who are often switching from one beer style to the next and want maximum flexibility in their draft system. The Nukatap FC is also the first forward sealing tap ever manufactured that can be used with a spring return. Historically on older tap designs such as the Intertap the FC it was not possilbe to make the self closing spring design work. The new patented Nukatap FC design also includes this highly desirable feature.
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.
