About Kegs and Kegerators
Kegerators can be used for different keg types and it’s important that you understand what types of kegs
are available and the types of fittings that are required for each type. You will need to customize your
kegerator to suit the kegs that you want to dispense. The keg types can be split up into two main
categories: Commercial and Home Brewing Kegs
Commercial Kegs
Commercial Kegs such as the one on the left are usually used by commercial
breweries and in Australia are mainly sold as 50L kegs. However, smaller sized kegs
do exist, such as 20L, 25L and 30L kegs.
Commercial kegs use several different coupler types as shown below, with the most
common types being the A, D and S-type couplings.
90% of all 50L commercial kegs in Australia will use either A or D-types.
The S-type is most often used for imported beers from Europe or Asia.
The device to connect your beer and gas line to the keg is called a “Keg Coupler”.
Make sure to know what type of keg coupler you need before purchasing the equipment so you can
easily be supplied with the correct one.
A-Type
Also known as the “German Slider”, this type of keg is
used by Toohey, Coopers, West End, Little Creatures,
XXXX and any beer made by Lion Nathan.
To use this keg coupler, just slide the coupling over the
top of the keg and engage the handle on the keg coupler.
This is the most common keg coupler type in Australia
and approximately 45% of kegs in Australia would use
this coupling type.
A-Type Keg
A-Type Coupler
D-Type
Also known as an American Sankey, this type of keg is
used by VB, Carlton Draught, and any beers made by
Carlton United Breweries.
To use the coupler just push the coupler against the top of
the keg, twist clockwise firmly then depress the handle to
tap the keg.
About 40% of kegs in Australia would use this coupling.
D-Type Keg
D-Type Coupler
S-Type
This keg coupler is often confused with the D‐type keg
coupling. It looks very similar however the “well” in the
middle of the coupling is slightly deeper. These kegs are
used by Asian, American, and other imported beers such
as Asahi and Heineken.
To use the coupler just push the coupler against the top of
the keg, twist clockwise firmly then depress the handle to
tap the keg.
About 10% of kegs in Australia use this coupling.

Setting up Commercial Keg Couplers
The gas enters the side of the coupler at about a 30-degree angle and the beer exits the keg coupler out
the top of the keg coupler. For that reason, you will need to connect your gas line from your CO2
regulator to the side of the keg coupler and the beer line from your tap to the top of the keg coupler.
Inside the keg coupler there may be two “one‐way” valves. The one
on the left is the one-way gas valve and the one on the right is the
one-way beer valve. On a kegerator system these valves are not
strictly necessary, and you do not know how to use them it is best to
just take them out of the coupler.
If using barb-tails (pictured right), the keg coupler should include a hex nut, barb-tail,
and rubber washer (as shown to the right).
Always ensure that the rubber washer is between the barb-tail and the coupler body.
Home Brewing Kegs
Home Brewing Kegs, such as those on the left are used by home brewers or small
microbreweries. The sizes are typically 19L or 9.5L.
These kegs have 2 separate posts: one for the gas line (usually marked “IN”), and one for the
beer line (usually marked “OUT”).
The posts are typically either “Ball Lock” or “Pin Lock”. The differences between these two
types are explained as follows.
Ball Lock
Originally used by Pepsi for pre-mix syrups, about 85% of
home brewers use this type of keg because they are easy
to use, have a high availability of spare parts and are
inexpensive.
The 2 posts on the kegs look very similar but are not
compatible. As you can see on the photo to the left the
gas post is slightly different shape to the liquid post. The
gas post has a small ground notch (see arrow) which
signifies the post is a gas post.
Similarly, the ball lock disconnects are also different from
each other.
The grey should only be used for gas and the black
should only be used for liquid.

Disconnects
Pin Lock
Originally used by Coca Cola for pre-mix syrups, about
10% of home brewers use this type of keg.
The 2 posts on the kegs look similar but are not
compatible. As you can see on the photo to the left the
gas post has 2 pins on opposite sides of the post, and the
liquid post has 3 pins equally spaced around the side of
the post.
Similarly, the ball lock disconnects are also different from
each other.
The disconnect with the grey base should only be used
for gas and the disconnect with the black base should
only be used for liquid.

Setting Up Beer and Gas Lines
Using Stepless Clamps
The stainless stepless clamps that come included with the kegerator are the best clamp to
use on the beer line. The stepless clamps grasp the beer line in a perfect circle meaning
to do not pinch the line like worm style clamps. The stepless clamps come in different
sizes so it is important you have the correct style of clamp for the beer line and barb
fitting that you are using. These clamps are a single use item.
To use the clamps the best tool for the job is clamp tool (shown below in photo to left). These tools can
be purchased separately (Part number 6530). If you do not have one of these tools the wire cutters
(shown below to the right) will do an adequate job.
As shown above, all that is required is a quick single clamp with the tool and the job is done.
Using Push-In Fittings
Push-In fittings are a great convenient alternative to using clamps
on your lines.
Using an MFL disconnect and a premium FFL to 8mm push-in
fitting, just screw the threaded end of the push-in fitting firmly onto
the MFL thread of the disconnect. Then push your 8mm line firmly
into the other end of the push-in fitting.
WARN ING
To avoid leaks, ensure your beer and gas lines are cut cleanly and square.

Balancing your Keg System with CO2
Balancing your keg system is vital for optimum draft beer performance and is especially important when
using CO2to dispense the beer. To balance your keg system correctly we must first understand
Carbonation Level and Keg Storage Temperature.
Carbonation Level
Different beers are carbonated at different levels. The carbonation is measured in “volumes of
carbonation”. Most draft beers have a carbonation level of about 2.6‐2.8 volumes of carbonation.
(see Table 1.1).
Keg Storage Temperature
Keg Storage temperature is best measured using a thermometer. Put a full glass of water in the fridge
with the keg for 2hrs with a thermometer in the glass. Take a reading with the thermometer. This will
give a true reflection of the keg storage temperature. In order to pour without excessive head, the keg
storage temperature of most beers should be between 0°C up to 2.5°C. Some very lightly carbonated
beers such as English Ales can be dispensed as high as 8°C.
Once you know what carbonation level is (if you do not know assume 2.6 volumes of carbonation) and
your keg storage temperature use Table 1.1 to work out the correct dispense pressure. For example, if
your keg storage temperature is 1C and the carbonation level is 2.6 volumes then the equilibrium
pressure is 70kPa (10.2PSI). The dispense pressure should be 10% above the equilibrium pressure. So,
you should set your regulator dispense pressure at 77kPa (11.2PSI).
Setting you dispense pressure below the equilibrium pressure will cause the beer to go flat over time.
Setting the dispense pressure above the equilibrium pressure will cause the beer to absorb more
carbonation over time.
NOTE: Many people make the mistake of using the keg dispense pressure to increase or decrease the
flow speed of the beer out of the tap. THIS IS INCORRECT. When using CO2to dispense, the dispense
pressure must be set according to Table 1.1. The method to adjust the speed of flow is to adjust the beer
line length and diameter.
Beer line diameter and length adjustment
The beer line on a kegerator is not just a hose to get beer from the keg to tap. It also performs the
important function of applying “flow resistance”. With too little flow resistance the beer will come out of
the tap too fast. With too much flow resistance the beer will come out of the tap too slow. Small internal
diameter (ID) beer line with apply more flow resistance and longer beer line will also apply more flow
resistance. Most domestic systems work well with the following line length/diameter:
4mm ID Beer Line: 1.5‐2.5 Meters
5mm ID Beer Line: 3‐4.5 Meters
6mm ID Beer Line: 5‐10 Meters
Small ID beer line is often the best choice for kegerators as it means the customer can use a shorter beer
line which makes less mess inside the fridge. It also minimizes the amount of beer sitting in the beer
lines.
Using 4mm ID beer line you will have 12.5ml per meter in the beer line and a total of approx. 22.5ml.
Using 5mm ID beer line you will have 20ml per meter in the beer line and a total of approx. 70ml.
Using 6mm ID beer line you will have 28ml per meter in the beer line and a total of approx. 210ml.
For the above reasons 4mm ID beer line is often the best choice
however the small ID makes it difficult for some customers to fit
the ID over the barb fittings on the keg coupler or ball lock
disconnects. The Kegerators comes standard with the 5mm ID
beer line as a compromise between the two options.
If using 4mm ID, the user may need to stretch the beer line open
slightly so it can fit onto the barbs of some of the fittings. The
perfect tool for this job is a set of needle nose pliers. Heat the
beer line in some boiling hot water for 30 seconds to soften then push onto the needle nose pliers to
stretch the internal diameter open. Open the handles on the pliers to further stretch the beer line open.

Attaching and Removing Taps from the Font
Attaching and removing the taps from the font may be necessary if you need to change the beer line or
taps at any time throughout the life of the kegerator. The kegerators come included with new forward
sealing taps.
These forward sealing taps require very little maintenance and are easy to fit.
Step 1 Remove the cap from the top of the font.
(See photo to the left)
Step 2 Feed the beer line up through the bottom of
the font and place through slimline nut and convex
collet before going through the tap hole.
(See photo to right)
Step 3
Attach beer line to back of the tap, then push the threaded shank of
the tap into the tap hole.
Step4
On the inside of the front, place the
convex collet onto the tap shank, then
tighten the slimline nut to the tap shank
to secure to the font. The beer taps various tap assemblies are available.
NOTE: It is important that the user does not over‐tighten the faucet collar on
the tap. Over tightening of this part will prevent the free and full movement of
the tap handle. Over tightening will restrict the tap handle movement
preventing the tap from completely opening properly.
IMPORTANT –C02Pressure Check
After setting up the kegerator it is important to do a CO2pressure check to make sure your system holds
pressure. Making sure the system holds pressure is extremely important as it will determine that you
have no pressure leaks. This can be done in a few simple steps.
Step 1: With all your hoses and the keg connected turn the pressure on the CO2regulator up to 140kPa
(about 20psi) then turn off the valve on the top of the CO2gas cylinder.
Step 2: Wait 2 hours and check that the pressure on the CO2regulator has not dropped since step 1.
If the pressure has dropped over the 2-hour period then go over all the hose connections with soapy
water to ensure you have no CO2leaks then repeat the two steps above.
CO2Consumption Rate
The CO2cylinder that you use with your kegerator can be used for 2 purposes:
1. Carbonating your beer or other drink in the Keg.
2. Dispensing your beer or other drink from the Keg.
If you are brewing your own home brew, then you will most likely use the CO2gas cylinder to carbonate
your beer. This will consume approximately 6 grams of CO2per Litre. If you purchase your beer from a
commercial brewery, then it will already be carbonated.
Dispensing your beer will consume approximately 6 grams per litre as well regardless of whether you
brewed it yourself or not.
Keg King sells 2 different CO2cylinder sizes:
1. 2.6kg Gas Cylinder
For home brew this will carbonate and dispense approximately 200 Litres.
For commercial beer that comes already carbonated this will dispense about 400Litres
2. 6kg Gas Cylinder
For home brew this will carbonate and dispense approximately 500 Litres.
For commercial beer that comes already carbonated this will dispense about 900Litres

Beer Line Cleaning Equipment
To keep your kegerator in top condition it is recommended to clean
your beer lines out between kegs. Keg King supply cleaning chemicals
that are perfect for the job. We also sell beer line cleaning caps (See
photo to left) that you can use on an old coke bottle and use this to
clean out your beer lines or if you are using commercial keg couplers
then you should try our 15 liter wash out kegs (see photo to right).
These useful parts will ensure you maintain the quality of your beer.

Troubleshooting
Issue
Remedy
Ice or frost forming
inside of the unit
See the “Defrosting the KegMaster™Kegerator” section
Ice forms too
regularly
If excess ice forms too regularly:
1. Avoid opening the door unnecessarily.
Opening the door introduces moist air that condenses and forms ice.
2. Ensure there are no gaps in the door seal that may allow ingress of
moist air.
3. Ensure fonts and / or the font hole are well sealed from moist air ingress
(especially with under-bench installs).
4. If the above has not helped, set the temperature to a slightly higher
temperature, or try calibrating your KegMaster™(see section
“Calibrating your KegMaster™Series 4 Kegerator”)
Colder temperatures increase moisture condensation and freezing.
The KegMaster™is
too warm
Set the temperature to a slightly lower temperature, or try calibrating your
KegMaster™(see section “Calibrating your KegMaster™Series 4 Kegerator”)
