Installing the Keg Coupler- Tapping the Beer Your beer dispenser comes with American Sankey Tap. Before purchasing a keg, check with your beer distributor to make sure that supplied American Sankey Tap can be used. Many European beers require a different tap. Please contact EdgeStar customer service online via email at [email protected] or by telephone at 1-866-319-5473 for more information. 1. To connect the keg coupler to the keg, first, make sure the pull handle on the Sankey tap is in the "up" (diagonal) position before locking it on to the beer keg. Insert the keg coupler into the locking neck of the beer keg and turn clockwise 1/4- turn to lock into place. Make sure that the tap has been inserted flush into the keg. 2. Now the keg coupler is secured to the keg. Attach the remaining open end of the CO2 tube to the Sankey Tap hose barb connection. Then, secure the tube by using the remaining self-locking red plastic snap-on-clamp. Secure with pliers or a clamp crimper to ensure that there are no leaks. 3. Now connect the beer line (from the tower) to the American Sankey tap. When connecting the beer line, it is very important that a washer be installed between the nut at the end of the beer line and the Sankey Tap. Remove the blue rubber protective cap located on top of the Sankey Tap and screw the nut with the rubber washer on to the top of the keg coupler, hand-tighten firmly. After handtightening the nut, use an adjustable wrench to tighten the nut a bit further. 4. To tap the keg, pull the Black tap handle away from the coupler and push down until it locks into position. Listen for the "click" of the pull handle when it shifts into the final downward position. This will open the beer and CO2 gas valves. The keg is now tapped. 5. Carefully tilt the beer keg and rest the edge on the metal keg floor support on the bottom of the interior cabinet. Slide the beer keg in slowly, ensuring that it is fully inside the refrigerator. Close the door. 6. Now make sure the valve on the CO2 regulator is closed (perpendicular to the nose). Open the valve on the CO2 tank. 7. Check the pressure gauge on the regulator. Turn the screw jutting from the regulator until the gauge reads 12-14 PSI (for most beers). 8. Now open the valve on the regulator and make sure the PSI on the gauge is still 12-14 PSI. 8
