Keg Dispensing System - D Type Coupler + Picnic Tap
D Type Party Pump with a Bronco Tap, a reliable and easy-to-use accessory for any party or event. The pump is made from quality stainless steel and features a bronco tap that allows for single handed, reliable pouring.
D-Type variety kegs are commonly used by CUB (VB, Carton Draught, Great Northern etc) but are also utilised by some craft breweries for their kegs.
Party pump kits are perfect for dispensing the occasional keg at a party, picnic, or event. Not needing electricity or CO2 to dispense makes them affordable and reliable. Due to air being pumped into the keg, the beer should be consumed within 24 hours. Simply chill the keg in ice, attach the party pump and start pouring.
Instructions:
1. Ensure your keg is cold and has had time to settle after transport. A warm 50L keg can take over 24 hours to cool down.
2. Attach the pump to the gas inlet on the side of the coupler, ensuring that the one-way check (“duckbill”) valve/seal is in place between the coupler and pump.
3. Screw the push in fitting on the liquid out thread on the top of the coupler ensuring the seal is in the female threaded side.
4. If not assembled, push one end of the beer line over the barb on the plastic tap. Place the clamp over the fitting and close with a clamp tool or side cutters. Push the other end of the line firmly into the push in fitting.
5. Connect the coupler to the keg by either siding onto the spear (A-type) or twisting to lock (D-type) and pushing the handle down to engage the coupler.
6. Release excess pressure in the keg by slowly unscrewing the pump on the side of the coupler until you hear a hiss, allow most of the pressure to release. Re-tighten the pump to the coupler.
7. Start pouring beer from the picnic tap, the first couple of glasses will often be very foamy while the system cools down and settles.
8. Enjoy beer on tap! As the unit starts to pour too slow, just give it a couple of pumps. Do not over pressurise by pumping more than required. It should take roughly 10 seconds to fill a glass.
