Rigid Ale Extractor Body with Blanking Plug

Rigid Ale Extractor Body – Replacement Cask Shank with Blanking Plug

The Rigid Ale Extractor Body is a replacement component for traditional cask ale dispensing systems. Also known as a cask broach or extractor shank, it is designed to fit into the keystone of a cask, providing a secure connection for compatible ale extraction equipment.

Ideal for pubs, breweries and cellar installations, this spare extractor body allows additional casks to be prepared in advance, helping make barrel changes quicker and more efficient.

Key Features

• Replacement ale extractor body for compatible rigid cask extraction systems.

• Supplied with a blanking plug to protect the opening and threads during cask preparation.

• Insertion depth marking indicates how far the body should be driven into the cask keystone.

• Suitable for advance cask preparation, allowing another barrel to be tapped ready for use.

• Durable construction designed for regular use in professional cellars.

Preparing and Tapping Cask Ale

Keeping a spare extractor body available makes it easier to prepare your next cask before the current barrel runs empty.

The supplied blanking plug, sometimes called a blanking nut, helps protect the extractor body during venting and tapping.

For installation, use a rubber mallet rather than a metal hammer to reduce the risk of damaging the extractor body. The marked insertion line provides a useful guide to the correct fitting depth within the keystone.

Always follow the appropriate cask tapping procedure and ensure the extractor is securely fitted before connecting the dispense equipment.
