U Type Keg Coupler – UEC Stella Artois Keg Connector

The U Type Keg Coupler, also known as a UEC Keg Coupler, is designed for connecting compatible U-system kegs to draught beer dispense equipment. Commonly associated with Stella Artois, it provides separate gas and product connections between the keg and the dispense system.

Suitable for pubs, bars, restaurants, events and home draught installations using compatible U-Type kegs.

UEC / Stella Artois Keg Coupler

The U-Type coupler connects directly to a compatible U-system keg valve. When engaged, dispense gas enters the keg through the gas connection while beer leaves through the product outlet and travels through the draught system towards the tap.

The correct beverage gas, regulator, pipework and fittings should be selected for the beer being dispensed.

These couplers are not interchangeable, so it is important to identify the valve fitted to your keg before purchasing.
