The Ale Extractor body has numerous different names such as a Broach and a Shank.
When buying a Rigid or Flexible Ale extractor, we recommend that you purchase at least one extra extractor body. This will give you the flexibility to tap the next barrel in advance.
The body comes with a Blanking Plug (sometimes known as Blanking Nut). This saves damaging the thread when venting and tapping the cask. We recommend always using a rubber mallet when venting and tapping the barrel. This prevents any damage to the extractor bodies.
Around the body, you will notice there is an indication line showing how far you need to drive it into the keystone.
