Beer tap for keg closures – designs & features
A beer tap is an essential component in beverage technology, especially in beer dispensing systems. It allows precise control of the beer flow and is often installed between the tap head and the beer line.
These special taps are designed for KEG closures and offer a robust and hygienic solution for professional beverage dispensing.
1. Technical features & construction
Material & workmanship:
-
High-quality stainless steel ensures durability, easy cleaning, and high corrosion resistance
-
Precisely manufactured seals guarantee a secure seal and prevent unwanted dripping
-
Solid construction to withstand the pressure in dispensing systems
Connections & Dimensions:
-
Wing nut: Standard R 5/8", suitable for most dispensing systems and KEG taps
-
Grommet: Fixed 7 mm grommet, ideal for connecting to beer hoses of the appropriate size
Function:
- Used to quickly interrupt or open the flow of beer
- Allows maintenance work on the tap head or beer line without having to vent the entire system
- Protects against unwanted beer loss when changing KEGs
2. Versions: Straight or curved
Straight version:
- The classic version with linear flow direction
- Ideal for direct connections between the tap head and beer line
- Particularly suitable for space-saving installations where no lateral diversion is required
Curved design:
- Enables a 90-degree diversion of the beer flow
- Particularly useful if the dispensing system has limited installation space
- Reduces mechanical stress on the hose connection thanks to a smoother flow
3. Advantages & applications
Main advantages:
Precise flow control – prevents uncontrolled leakage
High-quality materials – for a long service life and hygienic use
Universally applicable – compatible with most KEG dispensing systems thanks to standardised connections
easy handling – easy to install and remove thanks to the wing nut (R 5/8")
Typical areas of application:
- Catering & breweries
- Mobile bar carts or event dispensing systems
- Maintenance work on dispensing systems
- Optimization of beer lines in complex dispensing systems
4. Conclusion – Which beer tap is the right one?
The choice between a straight or curved design depends on the individual requirements of the dispensing system. Straight models are ideal for standard installations with a direct connection, while curved models allow for more flexible hose routing in confined spaces.
Thanks to the 7 mm nozzle and the R 5/8" wing nut connection, the beer tap is compatible with most common KEG tap heads and is an ideal addition to professional beer dispensing systems.
