Importers from the United States and Europe use our comprehensive sourcing service to find reliable Chinese manufacturers of brass and stainless steel beer tap housings. Components and fixtures made from brass cost you less than those made from stainless steel. But they’re also less durable and resilient than stainless steel. 

Typical materials: Brass CW617N

CW617N is an alloy of nickel-plated brass. It is commonly utilized for the production of complex hot pressed components.

• Good corrosion resistance
• High machinability rating
• Excellent capacity for hot forming
• Excellent suitability for brazing and soldering.

Material composition:

• 58% copper
• 2% lead additive
• 0.3% maximum iron
• 0.7% maximum impurities
• Remaining zinc

Hot working temperature range: 650-775°C (1202-1427°F)

Tensile strength: 380 MPa (55 ksi)

Common MOQ: 10,000 pcs

Generally, standardized or common parts have higher MOQs. While MOQs are negotiable, buyers are advised to be reasonable about the numbers.

Manufacturing Methods(s): Investment Cast and Machining

• After the component is manufactured, it is machined to meet client’s exact specifications
• Precise components and intricate parts
• Consistent and repetitive close tolerances along with intricate passages and contours
• Accurate and smooth surfaces (a 125 micro finish is standard, and even finer finishes are achievable).

Manufacturing Cluster Area: Yuhuan (Taizhou)

Yuhuan is a city in Taizhou located along the coast of southeastern Zhejiang Province. Taizhou has world-class clusters, notably in the automobile and pharmaceutical industries. Its automobile industry generates an output exceeding 100 billion yuan ($14.49 billion). 

By the end of 2020, Taizhou aims to have 60 listed companies and 4,400 industrial companies, and nurture over 250 national-level high-tech companies and more than 1,000 provincial technological operations throughout the year. 

By 2030, the city is targeting four world-leading industrial clusters in the automotive, healthcare, intelligent sewing equipment and high-end mold sectors. Five state-level industrial clusters will be set up here. They will be involved in pumps and motors, high-end equipment, electronic information, aerospace, and smart homes.

Yuhuan has a strong manufacturing sector. We have forged relationships with quality-driven manufacturers in the city. We’re familiar with the local dialects (besides Mandarin) and able to communicate your requirements effectively to the manufacturer chosen by you.

Application: Food and beverages industry

Beer dispensing systems are one of the key operational components for pubs, bars and restaurants that serve alcoholic drinks or specialize in craft beers. Beer tap housings are a functional part of beer dispensers, allowing commercial establishments to offer beer on tap.

Modern kegs and other beer dispensing systems have a valve that controls the release of beer. The food and beverages industry seeks economical beer dispensing to ensure minimal wastage. Beer taps and faucets are an effective way to control the pour and slow it for sampler glasses.

Beer taps are easy to handle and clean. They are generally low maintenance and suitable for mechanical cleaning without the need to dismantle the system.

Common Issues: Surface Finish

Chinese factories use polished brass to prevent oxidation and tarnishing over time.

Quality Control

• Thread and bore gauges to check thread size and pitch diameter
• Visual inspection against known good parts.
