The pitted, chalky ferrule under it does not. Swap it out and the whole tap looks new again, no need to touch the handle above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the standard 1\" tapered beer tap handle ferrule that fits the American draft system. The top threads onto the 5\/16\"-18 hanger bolt already in your handle, and the bottom threads onto a 3\/8\"-16 faucet lever. If your tap handle was built in the United States, this is almost certainly the ferrule you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrushed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard 1\" tapered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.02\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.79\" down to 0.60\" outside diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop thread\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\/16\"-18 (tap handle receiver)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBottom thread\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/8\"-16 (beer faucet lever)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThrough-hole, threaded both ends\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHanger bolt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood, resin, ceramic, and metal tap handles built to the US standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard American beer faucets with a 3\/8\"-16 lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKegerator and keezer taps for homebrew setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom tap handles you are building yourself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReplace the ferrule, keep the handle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrules take the abuse. Beer runs down them, they get wiped with sanitizer a few thousand times, and eventually they go dull, pitted, or chalky white. The handle above is usually still fine. A new ferrule takes about a minute with a wrench, and the tap looks new again for a couple of bucks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying for a bar, brewery, or a handle run?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe keep these in stock in quantity.

That is exactly what this ferrule uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with a hanger bolt?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. This is the ferrule only. Most tap handles already have the hanger bolt installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a through-hole ferrule?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. It is drilled through and threaded at both ends, which is what a standard American faucet lever needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill brushed aluminum match my chrome or brass ferrules?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Brushed aluminum is a softer, matte silver. If you are replacing one ferrule in a row of taps, replace them all so the finishes match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I install it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnscrew the old ferrule off the hanger bolt, thread the new one on until it seats against the handle, then screw the handle down onto the faucet lever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steel City Tap","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37612028985521,"sku":"1008","price":2.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/9904\/6833\/products\/ferrule-brushed-aluminum-price-breaks-available-tap-handles-steel-city-tap-116735.jpg?v=1631188109","url":"https:\/\/steelcitytap.com\/products\/tap-handle-ferrule","provider":"Steel City Tap","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
