Overview
The Z163S-1 is Kegco's single-faucet kegerator built for standard domestic kegs, shipping with a D-system coupler rather than the ball-lock fittings on Kegco's homebrew models. It has a stainless steel door on a black cabinet and the same 5.8 cu ft capacity as the HBK163 line.
Where the HBK163 series is set up for Cornelius homebrew kegs, the Z163S-1 is the version meant to tap a keg from a beer distributor, using a single D-system coupler included in the box along with a CO2 tank and regulator. That makes model selection a real compatibility question rather than a style choice: buying the wrong one means the included coupler will not fit the keg you actually have.
- Includes D-system keg coupler for domestic kegs
- 32-75 F temperature range
- CSA certified to NSF/ANSI 7
- Field-reversible stainless steel door
Who it's for
Bars, restaurants and home users planning to serve a standard domestic keg, such as a Coors, Miller or Bud Light keg bought from a distributor. Homebrewers kegging in Cornelius vessels should look at Kegco's ball-lock HBK163 models instead.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- D-system coupler fits standard domestic kegs out of the box
- Removable drip tray and chrome guard rail
- Locking casters for moving the unit
- 5.8 cu ft interior also usable as a regular fridge with wire shelves
- D-system coupler only, not compatible with Cornelius ball-lock kegs
- Single faucet limits it to one keg at a time
Performance notes
The same push-button, LED-display temperature control covers 32 to 75 F, described by Kegco as one of the wider ranges available on a keg dispenser. Fan-forced cooling and an air-cooled draft tower work to keep the beer line chilled between the keg and the faucet.
