Why it's Important to Have A Regulator Panel For Your Beer System

A Regulator Panel is important to have in your draft beer system because it helps to control the flow of gas to the kegs. The panel makes it quick and easy to connect the trunkline to the kegs. And it also includes a shut-off valve that can be used to stop the flow of beer if needed. Regulator Panels are essential pieces of equipment for any draft beer system, and they will help ensure that your system is running correctly.

The Benefits of Having a Regulator Panel


Regulate the flow of gas to your beer kegs

Each brand will have its own secondary regulator that can be adjusted according to the beer carbonation of the draft beer being served. Precise gas pressure was delivered to the beer keg.

Shut off beer with a beer FOB when the Keg crashes

After your beer is cashed. Instead of filling the beer system with beer foam which will cause loss to the owner. Beer FOBs keep the lines packed with beer and you'll only have to change the jumper line which is 8' in the beer cooler. This will lead to cost savings for the owner.

Drain Line already set up with Beer FOBs

When you have FOBs you will need to purge the FOB when connecting to a new keg. The FOBs on these panels come with the drain lines already attached. So whichever way you decide to send the drain line in the walk-in cooler you'll be set up saving install time.

Air and Beer Line Jumpers Already Hooked Up

The other nice thing about these panels is they come with an 8' Jumper line on the beer line or product line, and 8' on your airline. On the product line, there will be wing nuts also attached. You will only need a beer washer to add and you'll be able to attach your stainless steel coupler. On the airline side, you will need a 15.7 or 16.2 Oetiker clamp to secure the airline to the coupler.

Save Time With Installation

Using these regulator panels will help the efficiency of your beer system. But more importantly, will cut down the time of installing a beer system. If you contract this work out you could save thousands in labor costs by having these panels ready vs building these panels on site and installing them.

Keep your system running smoothly and efficiently

When these regulator panels are set up properly your pour costs will be lowered. Secondaries will regulate the right pressure on your beer keg. When the keg crashes the FOB will keep the beer system packed with beer while you change new kegs. Not interfering with liquid beer in your beer trunkline saving the customer/user money.
