4L DOUBLE WALL MINI KEG WITH STRAIGHT SPEAR TAP CO2 REGULATOR SYSTEM

Before using the Mini Keg Tap System, become familiar with the various parts. Wash the spear valve, mini keg, faucet, silicone tubes in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

  2. SS Straight Spear Valve
  3. Gas-In Connection Port
  4. Pressure Release Valve 30PSI
  5. Cross-Bar
  6. CO2 Regulator Knob
  7. 30PSI Pressure Gauge
  8. Regulator Base
  9. Aluminium CO2 Regulator Body
  10. Black Plastic Tap Handle
  11. Chrome Plated Faucet Body
  12. Silicone Beer Hose
  13. 16g Threaded CO2 Cartridge/Capsule (Not Included)

Length Approx:88.6mm

Thread:3/8"-24 UNF

PART ONE: HOW TO ASSEMBLE

  1. Fill mini keg at your favourite craft breweries or with your own home brew beer
  2. Cut beer hose according to keg height and attach onto barbed fitting of spear valve, make sure hose can touch bottom of keg without overlong or over short

3. Insert spear valve into keg and screw on until tight

4. Check whether the regulator knob is in OFF position (Decrease). If not, please follow arrow mark instruction to turn the regulator knob counter-clockwise to OFF position

5. Turn in a new 16g CO2 Capsule with thread type of 3/8-24UNF, turn clockwise firmly into the regulator base

 

REMARK: DON’T stop turning if you hear a slight gas leak swish, finish turning it in all the way it seal properly

6. Connect the regulator with capsule to the spear valve gas-in port

7. Install faucet onto spear valve cross-bar, make sure the connection is proper and tight

REMARK: Improper combination would cause leakage of beer

8. Pull on pressure release valve ring for a couple of seconds, if the keg was shaken in transit or warmed, it may contain excessive pressure which must be relieved before tapping. A hissing noise is expected

9. Slowly turn the regulator knob in clockwise direction to 3-5 PSI, and stop for 2 seconds ad turn off regulator. Wait for 2 mins, then pull on the pressure release valve ring for a couple of seconds. This is for adjusting pressure of keg beer

10. Put a glass or pitcher under the faucet spout, with the faucet knob pulled  forward (ON), slowly turn the regulator knob in clockwise direction, until beer starts to flow out

REMARK: Don’t continue adding pressure, suggest tapping 5-8 PSI (Max pressure 25PSI), so please stop turning the regulator knob when the pressure is enough to tap beer out with perfect foam. Too much pressure would cause over foam. When the beer stopped or flow slower, try turning the regulator knob on slowly, to get bigger pressure.

11. When you finish tapping, please turn regulator knob to OFF position
12. If no beer flow out, then the CO2 capsule needs to be replaced, unless no          beer is remained(Normally, 16g capsule can tap 4-5 liters of beer)

Caution: Removing a punctured capsule from regulator should be done slowly. Swish is expected if pressure remains.

13. Turn the regulator knob off and install a new capsule into the regulator by            following above steps

PART TWO: TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

  1. Faucet Leakage:

Solution: please screw out and remove the faucet, and install again, make sure the faucet can match the connection of spear valve cross-bar tightly

       2. Too much Foam:

Solution: Turn off the regulator and pull the pressure release valve ring to release the pressure. And turn on the regulator again and adjust to 3-5psi

       3. Leakage of CO2:

CO2 capsule should be installed properly and tightly. In case there is CO2 leakage, please observe the position of leakage and continue with the tightening process, but never screw out if gas remains

PART THREE : IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using this appliance, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following:

  1. Keep away from children under 18
  2. Never point cylinder towards someone’s face
  3. Do not heat over140 ℉ as rupture may occur!
  4. Discontinue using of this equipment if unsolvable leakage or visible damage is found
  5. Capsule end become punctured when turned into regulator base. Unscrewing before it’s empty can result in loss of high pressure gas. Please remember, never unscrew the CO2 capsule before gas used up, liquid CO2 spray onto unprotected skin may cause freezing burns
  6. Exterior of capsule may become frozen when in use, this is normal. But don’t touch with bare hands, your fingers could stick to the frozen surface and cause frostbite
  7. Please ship via land or sea shipment, never bring CO2 capsule when you travel by air
