The Nukatap Mini is the first small beer faucet with big faucet features, like forward sealing, an optional self closing spring, laminar flow to minimize foaming, and a removable stainless spout. It also has new innovations like integrated over molded Santoprene® seals, which will last the life of the faucet without replacement. The faucet body is molded from POK plastic which can withstand autoclave temperatures, and the over molded seals can withstand the harshest cleaning chemicals. Over molded seals get rid of O rings, eliminating the places behind O rings where crud and bacteria can hide.The Nukatap Mini is the first small beer faucet with big faucet features, like forward sealing, an optional self closing spring, laminar flow to minimize foaming, and a removable stainless spout.

Due to it being made
of POK plastic with a POK molded shuttle, the first pour from a
Nukatap Mini will have less foam than from a conventional metal
faucet due to the fact that cold beer cools down POK plastic faster
than it does metal. The POK plastic also insulates better than brass
or stainless, a helpful feature between pours.
The Mini debuts a new shank system which eliminates the need to drill a 7/8” hole in your cooler or refrigerator door. The new Nukatap Mini Shanks (available for 8mm and 6.5mm Evabarrier tubing) use EvaBarrier tubing to draw the beer right to the tap, and are secured with three screws to the outside, preventing the shank from rotating, a common problem with metal shanks and coolers.

Picnic Tap Replacement
Picnic Tap leaked after I took a sample from the top of a pressure fermenter, and refused to be repaired. The NukaTap Mini is a great replacement with a positive seal. Bought the spring too, but my Mini had one installed.
