ABOUT
Congratulations on the purchase of your new HOT DRAFT® Tower! This U.S. patented product
(https://kegco.com/pages/patents) is the property of Ryan Bros. Coffee and is the World’s First Draft System that
allows you to enjoy both cold and hot products at the point of dispense without the burning effects of holding tanks or
the lessening of flavor from oxidation. Utilizing a tankless method of just-in-time heating, the structure and flavor
integrity of the beverage is at its original maximum quality without the degradation of heretofore constant reheating.
What does this mean? The HOT DRAFT® Tower delivers constant freshness with zero waste! Inside the keg, nitrogen is
displacing oxygen, keeping the beverage 100% fresh while infusing the beverage with a creamy finish. The finished
product is as good as when it was originally crafted—every ounce and all the time! With the HOT DRAFT® Tower, you
are serving products at their very best...highlighting peak freshness and flavor...and the last ounce is as good as the
first! We hope you enjoy having chosen our innovative solution and for helping us solve the many flavor pitfalls and
waste traditional brewing yields. As you will soon discover yourself—The HOT DRAFT® Tower is “Not Your Same Old
Drip!” ®

ASSEMBLE THE HOT DRAFT® TOWER DISPENSE SYSTEM
Safety Instructions:
1. Pressurized Nitrogen can be dangerous. Handle with care.
2. Never exceed 60 PSI.
3. Always connect Nitrogen tank to regulator. Never connect the tank directly to keg.
4. Keep the Nitrogen tank in an upright position.
5. Ventilate area after Nitrogen leak.
6. The regulator may break if the tank falls on it. Secure the Nitrogen tank.
7. If it becomes difficult to breathe and your head starts to ache, high levels of Nitrogen may be present. LEAVE THE
ROOM IMMEDIATELY.
8. Pressures above 50 PSI will release the coupler’s built-in pressure relief valve.
Attaching the Tower
1. Start by guiding beverage lines and power cable through the hole on the kegerator top. For more than one beverage
line, put the first line through and press the second nut into the hole next to the first tube. Then pull the first tube
from inside the kegerator and it will bring the second nut through the hole. Ensure there is a rubber tower gasket
between the tower and the kegerator top.
