American Sankey Wing-handle Coupler - D System

This D System Wing Handle Keg Coupler (model: FT86P) is compatible with all kegs using the D system keg valves. D system is the most common system available in the US, also known as American Sankey, and is used by all the major breweries, including: Anheuser-Busch, Miller, Molson-Coors, and Labatt as well as most craft breweries. To connect this coupler to the keg, simply apply pressure and twist the black wing handle clockwise 1/2 of a turn—anyone can do it. Wing-handle design permits one-motion tapping 55-psi pressure relief valve protects against accidental over-pressurization Built-in pressure line shut-off prevents loss of gas when the keg is untapped Probe washer assures that beer and gas cannot be mixed, thereby eliminating one common cause of foamy beer Unlike the brass wing-handle version, the FT90P uses a plastic wing handle design which makes it lighter weight, more durable, and easier to grip
