What is a KEG flat fitting?

A KEG flat fitting (A-type) is a connection piece that is often used for beer kegs. It is used to safely and hygienically dispense beer from the keg. Flat fittings are widely used in the DACH region, but are also suitable for various types of beer worldwide.

Flat fittings are characterised by their flat and simple design. They are a further development of the basket fitting (S-type). Triangular fittings (G-type) are a variation of the flat fitting.

More details on the KEG flat fitting

The KEG flat fittting consists of various components. There is a gas connection that allows carbon dioxide or other gases to enter the drum. This keeps the contents pressurised.

A liquid connection is used to push the beverage out of the keg. A non-return valve prevents the beverage from flowing back into the keg.

The flat fitting is approved up to 3 bar, is coupled at the side and is located at the top end of the KEG. It is made of robust stainless steel that can withstand high pressure and offers a long service life.

The fitting has only one spring and is designed to create an airtight connection to the keg. This ensures that the freshness and quality of the beverage is maintained. The tapping volume can be easily regulated and cleaning is simple.
