Kegging Components » Keg Taps (Couplers)
A keg coupler is an essential tool for any draft system, designed to connect to the keg’s valve and allow the beverage to flow out. It acts as the key that unlocks the keg, opening the valve and allowing CO2 or nitrogen gas to enter, which pressurizes the keg and pushes the liquid through the tap. Without a compatible coupler, the keg remains sealed, and the beverage cannot be dispensed.

Different kegs require different couplers depending on the type of keg and the region where it was brewed. Whether you're tapping a domestic or international keg, choosing the correct coupler is crucial for smooth operation. We offer a wide range of keg couplers to match any keg type:
- D-Type Coupler: Commonly used for North American beers, including major brands like Budweiser, Coors, and Miller.
- S-Type Coupler: Used for European beers, such as Heineken, Amstel, and Newcastle.
- A-Type Coupler: Also known as the German slider, this coupler is used for brands like Warsteiner and Franziskaner.
- G-Type Coupler: Often used for popular European brews like Guinness and Bass.
- U-Type Coupler: Designed for certain UK beers, including Guinness and Harp.
- M-Type Coupler: A less common coupler used for some German and Czech beers.
Selecting the right keg coupler ensures that your draft system operates efficiently, with a smooth flow of the beverage every time.
