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.
