Installation of the Keg Tapper
The Sankey type keg tapper supplied with the beer dispenser is the most widely used
in the United States. However, other types of keg tappers can be used. Before
installing a keg tapper, check with your beer distributor to make sure that the Sankey
type keg tapper can be used.
If you need a keg tapper other than a Sankey type, it is recommended that you
purchase the tapper you need from your beer distributor. Please keep the Sankey
type keg tapper for future use. The Sankey system is becoming more popular. It may
be purchased from our Sales Department at 718-893-3900.
• Installation of the Keg Tapper: IMPORTANT NOTICE: Make sure the pull handle
of the keg tapper is in the "upward" (closed) position before installing on the beer
keg (Figure 9). Insert the keg tapper into the locking neck of the beer keg and
apply a 1/4 turn clockwise to lock into position.
• Installation of the CO
2
Air Line Hose to the Keg Tapper: Attach the open end of
the (red) air line hose to the hose barb connection on the keg tapper. Secure hose
by using the remaining (self locking) plastic snap on clamp provided. (Use pliers to
tighten clamp and assure there are no leaks)
• Installation of the Beer Line Hose to the Keg Tapper: Screw the beer line nut
onto the keg tapper and hand tighten firmly.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The black rubber washer provided must be installed inside
the beer line connection nut before connecting the beer line to the keg tapper.
• Making the connection between the Keg Tapper and Beer Keg: Before making
(opening) connection between the keg tapper and beer keg, make sure the beer
tower faucet is in the closed position (faucet handle straight back). To engage the
tank connection, pull the keg tapper handle out and push down until it locks into
position.
Listen for positive "click" of the pull handle in the final downward position (Figure 10).
How to Tap a Keg of Beer

cylinder valve, slowly turn the main valve counter-
clockwise until fully open.
