<strong>ProLine</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> <strong>Keg</strong> <strong>Filler</strong><br />
This device is designed to quickly, easily and affordably counter-pressure fill carbonated<br />
beverage kegs.<br />
Features:<br />
1 Sanke <strong>Keg</strong> Tap, Stainless steel body, 304 stainless steel probe.<br />
2 Stainless Steel ball valves with Delrin (autoclave safe) seal material.<br />
Built-in plastic washer. Standard beer nut threads.<br />
2 Stainless steel beer nut to ½” hose barb fittings.<br />
A standard beer ‘Y’ fitting<br />
The key to this system is the Lexan Valve Body (patent pending) that is engineered to<br />
allow a keg to be filled smoothly and quickly (about 10 minutes), with a minimum<br />
amount of foam and automatically stop filling the keg when full.<br />
This output is tapped with a standard ¼” female NPT:<br />
- This allows for a standard male pipe thread to hose barb fitting to be installed,<br />
containing the dribbles.<br />
- Metering hole adjustment: the ¼” female NPT fitting can be fitted with a needle<br />
valve for metering the counter flow.<br />
Note: When installed on the ‘Y’ fitting the Valve Body needs to be pointed up!<br />
The second ball valve on the lower ‘Y’ is normally closed. This port can be capped with<br />
a beer thread cap for filling 1/6 th barrel kegs.<br />
Filling procedures:<br />
1. Cold carbonated beer from a bright beer tank is transferred via a hose to the <strong>Keg</strong><br />
Tap. With the Fill Valve on the <strong>Keg</strong> Tap closed – connect the <strong>Keg</strong> Tap to a<br />
cleaned, sanitized and pressurized beer keg.<br />
Note: the keg should be pressurized a few pounds higher than the cold carbonated<br />
beer.<br />

2. The counter pressure gas will begin to bleed out of the valve body immediately.<br />
Open the Fill Valve – when the pressure in the keg is lower than the beer in the<br />
bright tank - the keg will begin to fill.<br />
3. When the beer level gets to the top - beer flows into the Valve Body - this causes<br />
the ball to float and closes the relief port – stopping the flow of beer.<br />
4. When keg is full – close the Fill Valve and remove the <strong>Keg</strong> Tap.<br />
Beer should drain from the valve body – and you are ready to tap the next keg.<br />
Rinse – dry – cap the keg.<br />
Trouble Shooting:<br />
<strong>Keg</strong> not full: Too much foam – warm beer – over carbonated – out of beer?<br />
Metering hole gets plugged – use a sewing needle to open the hole.<br />
Beer may need to be run through a coarse filter to remove particulates.<br />
Be careful to not over size the hole – as this will change the fill rate.<br />
