Tapping the Beer Keg
(Single-Valve Type Barrel)
Your beer dispenser comes with an American Sankey Tap made by the Banner
Equipment Company. This brand name is the most widely used in the United States.
Before purchasing a keg, check with your beer distributor to make sure that a
Sankey Tap can be used.
Note:
For European draft beer, a European Sankey is required. Please call the
Banner Equipment Company Toll-Free at (800) 621-4625 for more
information.
Follow the steps below to tap the keg of beer.
1. Make sure the black pull handle of the keg coupler
is in the closed (up) position before installing it on
the beer keg. Insert the keg coupler into the locking
neck of the beer keg and turn clockwise 1/4-turn to
lock it into position. (see fig. 1)
2. Attach the open end of the red air line hose to the
hose barb connection on the keg coupler. Next,
secure the hose by using the remaining self-locking
plastic snap-on clamp to ensure that there are no
leaks. Secure the clamp tightly with pliers.
(see fig. 2)
3. It is very important that the black rubber washer be
installed inside the wing nut before connecting the
beer line to the keg coupler. Remove the black
rubber protective cap located on top of the keg
coupler and screw the wing nut with the rubber
washer onto the keg coupler. Hand-tighten firmly.
(see fig. 3)
4. Make sure the beer tower faucet is in the closed
(faucet handle pointing straight back) position before
connecting the keg coupler and the beer keg. To
secure the tank connection, pull the keg coupler
handle out and push down until it locks into position.
Listen for the "click" of the pull handle when it shifts
into the final downward position.(see fig. 4)
