Ultratap Shadow Black - Beer Tap with Handle

Ultratap Shadow Black – Beer Tap with Handle

Ultratap Shadow Black is a forward-sealing stainless steel beer tap with a black, food-grade coating from Keg King’s Shadow range. It delivers the same laminar flow as the other Ultratap taps, but with a dark finish that won’t scratch. It’s made for anyone who wants a draught setup that pours perfectly and looks exclusive. The tap comes with a black handle in its own box.

What sets Shadow Black apart from other black taps is the coating. According to Keg King it is practically indestructible in everyday use: it won’t break down, chip or come off. Underneath is the same stainless steel Ultratap construction, and both the tap body and the shuttle – the part that shuts off the flow – are made from food-grade stainless steel. That is the only material that should be in contact with beer and other acidic beverages over time.
