Will this shank assembly fit a Perlicks 650SS?

Hi Keggers

I would like to upgrade my taps to Perlicks 650SS, but am not sure whether my current shank assembly will fit.

Thanks in advance

Looks like a standard tower shank. Never heard of Perlicks requiring specialized shanks. Mine work on tower shanks.

Perlicks fit standard US shank sizes, which I believe are 7/8"-14 (5/8" BSP) threads.

Well, sure, because all shanks and faucets sold in the USA share the same threading.

fwiw, when the 425 Perl was being sold there apparently was an issue with some shanks, and that may have affected early model Vent Matic faucets as well for the same reason: not the threads, but the depth and diameter of the cavity on some shanks was insufficient to fully accept the sliding "slug" when the faucet was fully opened.

I have not read of a similar issue with either the 500 or 600 series flow control Perls...

Cheers!
