9. INSTRUCTIONS FOR TAPPING
ATTENTION:
One-way keg for professional use; consult this manual for the PolyKeg
®
keg and your tapping system
before use. If you are inexperienced in the use of the PolyKeg
®
keg or tapping systems, contact your
suppliers in order to organise appropriate training.
The tapping system must be fitted with a suitable pressure reducer complete with a safety valve, in order
to not exceed the maximum working pressure indicated on the label.
The incorrect use of the PolyKeg
®
keg and/or tapping system may damage the keg or lead it to burst,
causing harm to persons and/or things.

• Wear personal protective equipment (goggles, gloves...).
• Ensure that the area is well-ventilated.
• Check that the calibrated and working pressures of your tapping system have been correctly set.
• Clean and sanitise all connection surfaces in accordance with the indications in section 5 of this
manual.
• Fit the connector to the valve of the PolyKeg
®
keg (Fig. 1-2-3 ) and proceed with tapping.
• To disconnect the keg from the tapping system, proceed as indicated in Fig. 1-2-3 .
If it is necessary to temporarily disconnect the keg, it must be handled and stored in accordance with the
indications in section 2 of this manual.
In order to once again proceed with tapping, repeat the connection procedure according to the indica-
tions in section 9.1 of this manual.
When the keg is empty, it will be necessary to immediately depressurise it according to the instructions
in section 10 of this manual.
