What is a U-Type Keg Coupler?
A U-Type keg coupler connects the gas and beer lines of a draught dispense system to a keg fitted with a compatible U-Type valve. The coupler allows dispense gas to enter the keg while beer travels through the product outlet and onwards to the beer tap.
U-Type couplers are also frequently referred to as UEC keg couplers and, due to their association with the brand, Stella keg couplers.
