C214 Stainless Steel 303 Beer Shank Assembly, 1/4" Bore, 4-1/8" Long

I purchased this through warehouse deals, it was listed as very good used with some cosmetic damage but I figured it was a beer shank and stainless steel so what could go wrong. The shank appears to be stainless as advertised and the fabrication overall looked good except for the small indentations or grooves where the shank mates with the faucet. Compared to my other shank these looked shallow or smaller. When I tried attaching my Perlick faucet it would not seat enirely onto the shank without my trying to bang it into place. I did not have the shank installed at this time so i tried tapping the shank into the faucet, without doing this it leaked like a seive, after banging it in place it appears to seal against the back of the faucet.

Did the job. Matches and fits all my other Krome parts and taps.
