HOW TO TAP A WINE KEG
INSTALLING KEG TAP ON SINGLE BARREL TYPE KEG
This wine dispenser's coupler is compatible only with a single 1/6 barrel keg, although a second
untapped keg can be stored behind the tapped keg to keep it cold. Each 1/6 barrel keg holds
approximately 5 gallons of wine.
To tap a keg:
1. First be sure that the black dispenser handle of the keg coupler is
closed (pushed up, see Fig. 1 below). Also, make sure the tower
dispenser (on top of wine dispenser) handle is closed before
proceeding with tap-to-keg connection.
2. Insert the keg coupler mechanism into the top of the keg neck
and perform a quarter-turn clockwise to lock the coupler and keg
together (Fig. 2).
3. Before proceeding, make sure that you insert a black rubber
washer into the wing nut connector for the wine line (see page
7, bottom photo) before connecting the line to the tap. Take
off the black protective cap from the tap and screw the wing
nut with the washer to a firm finger-tightness.
4. Insert the end of the gas line with the silver coupler to the gas
connection on the tap. Make sure the coupler connection is
secure. Next, secure the connection between the wine line
and tap with pliers (Fig. 3 and Photo 2, previous page). Make
sure there are no leaks.
5. To finalize the connection, pull the black tap handle out and push down until it clicks securely.
There will be an audible click, signaling that the gas and wine connections have been opened
and that your keg is tapped (Fig. 4). Now you may open the regulator valve (top right photo)
and open the valve on the gas tank itself as well. Set the regulator to read 5-7 psi by turning
the regulator handle (bottom photo, right) clockwise.
6. Carefully tilt the keg onto the lip of the cabinet (using the keg support shown in Fig. 5) and
position slowly into the cabinet body until the door can close. HANDLE CAREFULLY. Do not
jostle or bang keg on gas canister.
Note: The left regulator gauge indicates total tank pressure.
