TAPPING THE KEG
INSTALLING KEG TAP ON SINGLE BARREL TYPE KEG
This kegerator’s coupler (page 5, E) is compatible with a ¼ pony keg sized
barrel and a ½ barrel full size (U.S.A.). The kegerator is capable of holding a 5
gallon cornelius keg and a 5 gallon D system keg, you may discover that you
will need to use an alternate keg coupler.
Your
canister has a capacity of 2.5 lbs. which will deliver approximately four
15 gallon kegs of beer.

To tap a keg:
1.
First, be sure that the keg coupler’s black dispenser handle is closed
(
pushed up
, see
Figure O
). Also, make sure that the tower dispenser (on
top of kegerator) handle is closed before proceeding with tap to keg
connection.
2. Next, check the bottom of the coupler to make sure that the black washers,
which should be installed by the factory, are present and securely in place
(
Figure P
). If the seals are not installed, check the extra washers (page 5, J)
and insert to ensure a snug coupler/keg connection.
3. Insert the CO line’s black rubber washer into the coupler’s side-most
2
connector for the CO line (there are two of these included in your packag-
2
ing along with the other extra washers...they are hat shaped and taper to a
pointed end with a slit to better regulate gas flow...see
Figure Q
). Insert
tapered end first into coupler.
4. The topmost connection on the coupler is for the beer line. To prepare this
connection first, locate the white plastic float (with extra washers packet,
Figure R
). Insert the float, black marble-shaped side down, into the beer
line coupler connection.
5. Next, locate a metal spring as shown in
Figure S
, and insert small side
down into the beer line coupler connection directly on top of the float.
6. With all washers, float and spring in place, fit the keg coupler into the top of
the keg neck’s slots (
Figure T
), being careful not to press down on the
coupler handle. Press down and perform a quarter turn clockwise to lock the coupler and keg together.
The keg is now tapped and you are ready to attach the CO line and beer line to the keg coupler.
