Faucet Handle This is the handle that you pull on to release the beer from the tap. There are a wide variety of tap handles, from regular to customizable, that you can choose from. 2. Faucet The beer flows out from the faucet, a spigot-like tap, which is the port of exit from the kegerator to your glass. The faucet can easily become the dirtiest part of the kegerator, so it is recommended that you do regular routine cleaning on the faucet. Learn More: The Different Types of Beer Faucets Explained 3. Beer Tower One of the first things you will see when you look at your kegerator is the beer tower. This tube holds the beer lines that run from the faucet to the keg, and it is generally tall enough to fit most types of beer glasses, including pint glasses, under the faucet. 4. Guard Rail Guard rails add a certain elegance to kegerators. But they also serve a functional purpose. These railings help to prevent your beer glasses from falling off the top of the kegerator, helping you avoid spillage or broken glass on your floors. 5. Drip Tray The drip tray helps collect the small amount of runoff beer from overfilled glasses, leaking faucets, and spills. Located directly under the faucet, this tray helps to clean up most messes so you don’t have to. 6. Regulator Kegerator regulators allow you to view the CO2 pressure amount, and this item generally lets you know when the CO2 tank is almost empty. Remember to periodically check this gauge to see when its time to refill or reorder a CO2 tank. 7. CO2 Tube The CO2 tube allows the CO2 from the tank to flow through the kegerator. This pushes the beer out of the faucet at a consistent rate, helping to achieve the perfect pour and to let the beer flow. 8. CO2 Cylinder (supplied empty) One of the most important parts of the kegerator, the CO2 tank holds the CO2 in waiting for it to regulate the expulsion of beer from the keg. One pound of compressed CO2 can deliver a standard keg of liquid through a kegerator, so you will need to refill the tank periodically. You can do this at any local supplier or hardware store.

Simply put, it keeps the CO2 cylinder in place on the kegerator. The holder can be placed in various locations (depending on the kegerator), but it will generally be in the back or out of sight of the kegerator’s front side. 10. American Sankey Keg Coupler A keg coupler is essentially a keg tap that is mounted onto the keg and powered by a compressed gas line. The American Sankey coupler (also known as a System D coupler) is the coupler used by most U.S. brewing companies for their beer kegs, and is secured by twisting them into place like a screw. Learn More: Different Types of Keg Couplers Explained 11. Metal Keg Floor Support One of the most valuable parts of a kegerator is the keg floor, which needs to be strong enough to support a large keg filled with beer (which may weigh up to 170 lbs). In addition, it aids in the overall cooling process of the kegerator by keeping the cool air inside and not leaking out the bottom of the unit. 12. Caster Washer (x2) These two washers, designed to go on the front wheels of your kegerator, help to support the weight of the kegerator and to prevent damage to the bottom surface. 13. Casters (x4) Specifically designed to make the kegerator more portable, rolling casters help take the burden out of lifting the keg and kegerator. Alternatively, just roll the unit to wherever you need. 14. Neoprene Washer Designed for connecting the beer line to the keg coupler, this washer keeps the connections of these two separate and well-protected. 15. Snap-On Clamps (x2) Used to secure both ends of the gas CO2 line tube to the CO2 regulator and the keg coupler. Keeps the gas line secured and keeps the gas from leaking out of either end of the tube. 16. Wire Shelves (not pictured) (x2) The wire shelves allow you to convert your kegerator into a beverage refrigerator, giving your kegerator the ability to be versatile to your situation. 17. Half Barrel Keg (not included) Filled with refreshing draft beer, kegs are designed to keep the beer cold and help it to avoid contamination. Kegs can be used for a variety of activities: recreation, commercial use, parties, and much more. Learn More: How Long Your Keg of Beer Will Stay Fresh 18. Faucet Wrench (not pictured) A convenient tool that allows you to easily change the faucet on your beer tower. Fits almost any kegerator faucet for great versatility.

Bill says October 29, 2014 at 4:34 pm It seems that my compressor has given up the fight…where or how can I get it replaced? Reply
Bob T says February 7, 2019 at 4:28 pm You may not need a compressor, the start relay may have failed. You can find out by replacing the relay /overload combination that is plugged on the side of the compressor. Search online for “Supco # R 081 1/2 – 1/5 HP 115 VAC . Cost about $12 and installed in about 5 minutes Reply

Martin ONeill says December 15, 2015 at 12:32 pm I have a Haier dual tap Kegerator. I cannot get the temp. lower than 40 degrees. I was told it might be the thermostat. Where can I purchase a thermostat? Reply
Bob T says February 7, 2019 at 4:19 pm Hailer evidently believes the 40 F is the ideal temperature to serve beer. That may be true in Britain where it is served at room temperature 70F, but Texans generally prefer their suds just a few degrees above 32F. The temp bulb on you Kegerator is fastened directly on the back of cooling plate and cycles the compressor at around 39 F. Unplug the unit and Remove the four screws from the cooling plate and carefully bring the top forward just enough to reach the back side and pull the sensing bulb off from the back and let hang free without contacting the cabinet or cooling plate. Reinstall the screws, plug it in and let the unit run. After about an hour, check the temperature of the beer and see if that is closer to what you are looking for. Regards Bob Ft.Worth Reply
