Coupler (Tapper, Tap)

The coupler is the part of the system that ‘taps’ the keg, and allows air in from the

regulator, and beer to flow up to the tower. Our unit comes with an American Sankey, or Style
‘D’ coupler. This will work with most domestic beers (i.e.: Miller, Bud, etc). For Imports and
specialty beers, other couplers are needed and can be obtained 3

party, from companies like

Banner Beer.
