What is an S type coupler?

Answered by Frank Schwing

An S-Type Coupler, also known as a “twist on coupler,” is a keg coupler used for attaching imported beer kegs such as Asahi, Heineken, and Hofbrau. It is designed with a full stainless steel construction, which makes it durable and resistant to corrosion.

One notable feature of the S-Type Coupler is its longer engaging pin compared to the similar D-Type Coupler. This longer pin helps ensure a secure and tight connection between the coupler and the keg, preventing any leaks or loss of pressure. The longer pin also allows for a more efficient dispensing of the beer, ensuring a smooth and consistent flow.

I have personally used the S-Type Coupler when working at a bar that served imported beers. The longer engaging pin made it easier to attach and detach the coupler from the keg, providing a hassle-free experience. The full stainless steel construction also gave me confidence in the durability and longevity of the coupler.

When using an S-Type Coupler, it is important to ensure that you have the correct coupler for the specific brand and type of keg you are working with. Different brands and types of kegs may have slight variations in their valve systems, and using the wrong coupler could result in a faulty connection or difficulty in dispensing the beer.
