Stoopid question...

[Jkstone]

I'm building a portable kegerator and I'm looking for shanks... I've come to the conclusion that I don't know what size to buy. They will be going through 2" of material and I need the hose to be very close to the inside wall. How are shanks measured?

From kegconnection website:

Usable Shank Space: The amount of shank space that is available after using the front and rear components.
5 1/8" = 3 5/8" usable shank
4 1/8" = 2 5/8" usable shank
3 1/8" = 1 5/8" usable Shank
2 1/8" = 1/2" usable shank
