Your beer dispenser comes with American Sankey Tap. Before purchasing a keg, check
with your beer distributor to make sure that supplied American Sankey Tap can be used.
Many European beers require a different tap. Please contact EdgeStar customer service
online via email at
or by telephone at 1-866-319-5473 for more
information.
1. To connect the keg coupler to the keg, first, make sure the pull handle on the
Sankey tap is in the “up” (diagonal) position before locking it on to the beer keg.
Insert the keg coupler into the locking neck of the beer keg and turn clockwise
1/4- turn to lock into place. Make sure that the tap has been inserted flush into
the keg.
2. Now the keg coupler is secured to the keg. Attach the remaining open end of the
CO
2
tube to the Sankey Tap hose barb connection. Then, secure the tube by
using the remaining self-locking red plastic snap-on-clamp. Secure with pliers or
a clamp crimper to ensure that there are no leaks.
3. Now connect the beer line (from the tower) to the American Sankey tap. When
connecting the beer line, it is very important that a washer be installed between
the nut at the end of the beer line and the Sankey Tap. Remove the blue rubber
protective cap located on top of the Sankey Tap and screw the nut with the
rubber washer on to the top of the keg coupler, hand-tighten firmly. After hand-
tightening the nut, use an adjustable wrench to tighten the nut a bit further.
4. To tap the keg, pull the Black tap handle away from the coupler and push down
until it locks into position. Listen for the “click” of the pull handle when it shifts into
the final downward position. This will open the beer and CO
2
gas valves. The keg
is now tapped.
5. Carefully tilt the beer keg and rest the edge on the metal keg floor support on the
bottom of the interior cabinet. Slide the beer keg in slowly, ensuring that it is fully
inside the refrigerator. Close the door.
6. Now make sure the valve on the CO
2
regulator is closed (perpendicular to the
nose). Open the valve on the CO
2
tank.
7. Check the pressure gauge on the regulator. Turn the screw jutting from the
regulator until the gauge reads 12-14 PSI (for most beers).
8. Now open the valve on the regulator and make sure the PSI on the gauge is still
12-14 PSI.
