Attaching and Removing Taps from the Font
Attaching and removing the taps from the font may be necessary if you need to change the beer line or
taps at any time throughout the life of the kegerator.
Step 1
Remove the cap from the top of the font.
(See photo to the left)
Step 2
Feed the beer line up through the bottom of
the font and place through slimline nut and convex
collet before going through the tap hole.
(See photo to right)
Step 3
Attach beer line to back of the tap, then push the threaded shank of
the tap into the tap hole.
Step4
On the inside of the front, place the
convex collet onto the tap shank, then
tighten the slimline nut to the tap shank
to secure to the font.
NOTE:
It is important that the user does not over
‐
tighten the faucet collar on
the tap. Over tightening of this part will prevent the free and full movement of
the tap handle. Over tightening will also restrict the tap handle movement
preventing the tap from completely opening.

Pressure Check
After setting up the kegerator it is important to do a CO
2
pressure check to make sure your system holds
pressure. This is extremely important as it will determine that you have no leaks. This can be done in a
few simple steps.
Step 1
: With all your hoses and the keg connected turn the pressure on the CO
2
regulator up to 140kPa
(about 20psi) then turn off the valve on the top of the CO
2
gas cylinder.
Step 2
: Wait 2 hours and check that the pressure on the CO
2
regulator has not dropped since step 1.
If the pressure has dropped over the 2-hour period then go over all the hose connections with soapy
water and attend to any CO
2
leaks found, then repeat the above.

Consumption Rate
The CO
2
cylinder that you use with your kegerator can be used for 2 purposes:
1.
Carbonating
your beer or other drink in the Keg.
2.
Dispensing
your beer or other drink from the Keg.
If you are brewing your own home brew, then you will most likely use the CO
2
gas cylinder to carbonate
your beer. This will consume approximately 6 grams of CO
2
per Litre. If you purchase your beer from a
commercial brewery, then it will already be carbonated.
Dispensing your beer will consume approximately 6 grams per litre as well regardless of whether you
brewed it yourself or not.
Keg King sells 2 different CO
2
cylinder sizes:
1.
2.6kg Gas Cylinder
For home brew this will carbonate and dispense approximately 200 Litres.
For commercial beer that comes already carbonated this will dispense about 400Litres
2.
6kg Gas Cylinder
For home brew this will carbonate and dispense approximately 500 Litres.
For commercial beer that comes already carbonated this will dispense about 900Litres
