Tapping the Beer Keg (Single-Valve Type Barrel)
Follow these steps below to tap the beer keg.
1. Make sure the black pull handle of the coupler is in the closed (up) position before
installing it on the keg (Fig. 1 - below). Insert the keg coupler into the locking neck of
the beer keg and turn clockwise until it locks into position (Fig. 2 - below). This means
that it is secured to the keg.
2. When connecting the beer line to the top of the coupler, it is very important that the
wingnuttightenscompletely.Thismustbecompletedpriortoinsertingthebackow
stopper into the coupler.
3. Before attaching the CO2 line, be sure to insert the rubber directional washer into the
side of the coupler. Attach the CO2line(seestep3onpg.5)andhand-tightenrmly.
Secure the tank with CO2 tank strap.
4. Make sure the beer tower faucet is in
the closed (handle pointing straight
back) position before connecting the
coupler to the keg. To secure the tank
connection, pull the coupler handle
out and push down until it locks into
position. Listen for the “click” of the
pullhandlewhenitshiftsintothenal
downward position (Fig. 4 - below).
This will open the beer and CO2 gas
valves. The keg is now tapped.
5. Carefully tilt the keg and rest the edge
on the keg base board on the bottom
of the interior cabinet. Slide the beer
keg slowly, ensuring that it is properly
located (Fig. 5) and carefully close the
door.
