S System Keg Coupler
The European-keg coupler — pour your favorite imports without buying a second tap setup. The S-system Sankey coupler is the standard for most European brewery kegs (Heineken, Stella, Hoegaarden, Bitburger, and most other imports). Brass body, 304 stainless steel probe, sized for 1/6 BBL kegs.
Why you need an S coupler
- Imports use S-system: If you're tapping European beer at home, you need this — D-system couplers won't fit.
- Stainless probe: The probe (the part that goes into the beer) is 304 stainless, not just brass — cleaner contact with delicate import flavors.
- Same operation as D: Lock on, pull lever out and down, you're tapped.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which beers use S-system?
Most European imports — Heineken, Stella Artois, Hoegaarden, Bitburger, Spaten, and many others. When in doubt, ask your distributor what coupler the keg requires.
Can I use this on US kegs?
No — US kegs use D-system Sankey valves. See our D System Keg Coupler.
