I bought several of these beer shanks back in 2015. I took it apart recently to clean.
Since the description says it's stainless steel I figured I could clean the rust off of the barb insert. Looks like it wasn't made of stainless steel.
Should I just reuse this thing or get a new one? If so I need the specs on this part so I will know what I need to buy.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
EDIT #1: Would this be a suitable replacement?

EDIT #2: I emailed the customer support at MoreBeer and I got this response. They have great customer service.
Hi Casey,
Thanks for reaching out. This looks like a standard shank tailpiece. Here is a straight version, along with a curved version, in case it makes things easier.
Feel free to send me the invoice number after you order. I'm happy to refund the shipping cost for the inconvenience. Thanks!
Cheers! Zack
