Flexible Ale Extractor Body with Blanking Plug

Flexible Ale Extractor Body – Spare Cask Broach

The Flexible Ale Extractor Body, also known as a broach or shank, is a spare fitting for compatible flexible cask ale extractors. Supplied with a blanking plug, it allows you to prepare your next cask while continuing to serve from the current one.

Prepare Your Next Cask in Advance

Keeping an additional ale extractor body means you can tap the next cask ahead of changeover, allowing time for the beer to settle before dispensing.

A spare body is a practical addition for pubs, bars and beer festivals using upright cask dispense systems.

Key Features and Included Parts

• Spare flexible ale extractor body: For preparing another cask or replacing an existing compatible body.
• Blanking plug included: Also known as a blanking nut, it helps protect the body’s thread during venting and tapping.
• Insertion depth indicator: A line around the shank shows how far to drive the body into the keystone.
• Supports advance cask preparation: Allows the next cask to settle while the current cask remains in service.

Tapping and Fitting Guidance

Use a rubber mallet when tapping the cask to help protect the extractor body. Follow the marked insertion depth to position the body correctly through the keystone.

Check that the body matches your flexible ale extractor before ordering.

Watch the cask tapping and venting guide.
