So I searched and searched and couldn't find a vendor with stainless steel 3 1/8" shanks. None of the big keg vendors had this size in stainless. I found 2 vendors who were selling this size in stainless so I ordered from the cheaper of the two (we'll keep the specific vendor unnamed).
Well I recieved my 4 3&1/8" shanks in the mail and all is good. I opened the box and the shanks are individually packaged in plastic bags labeled "chrome". I emailed the vendor and asked if there was a mix-up and if they were really stainless or if they were "chrome" as the bag said.
The vendor claims that he purchased the shanks from a company called "Krome manufacturing" which is why the bags were labeled "chrome". I am still skeptical. If the bags were labeled with the vendor name why wouldn't they have been labeled "Krome"?
So I'm not really sure what I recieved but I paid for stainless and the invoice states stainless steel shanks so I want to make sure that I recieved stainless shanks. Is there a way to definitively tell the difference between the two? I have never seen a chrome shank as these are the first shanks of any kind that I have ordered.
