Keg couplers are necessary for serving beer out of a commercial keg. There are many different styles of keg couplers to accommodate the various styles of commercial kegs, but the most common keg couplers in the US are the D-style, or D system. If you’re looking for couplers for homebrew kegs, you’ll need ball lock fittings.
The KOMOS multi tool is a convenient instrument to keep nearby that is suitable for most of the fittings you'll encounter when setting up or making adjustments to your kegerator or keezer. If you're kegging your brew then you're well acquainted with the many nuts, bolts, and clamps it takes to rig up a draft system. Even small adjustments will often have you walking back and forth from the tool box before the job done. The KOMOS draft tool offers 7 unique functions for tasks including faucet collar adjustments, shank hex nut adjustments, connecting or disconnecting a CO2 regulator and tank, removing Duotight fittings, and, most importantly, removing bottle caps from beer bottles.
The KOMOS multi tool is suitable for most connection adjustments, but if you're adjusting a CO2 regulator nut that has been overtightened, we recommend using a standard Crescent wrench for extra torque.
Functions:
CO2 Regulator Nut Spanner
Shank Hex Nut Spanner
Faucet Coupling Ring Pin Wrench
Flare Swivel Nut Spanner
8 mm Duotight Removal
9.5 mm Duotight Removal
Bottle Opener
Made of stainless steal.
Don’t mar up your faucet using the wrong wrench! This Beer Faucet Wrench will easily get the job done. For the price, this faucet wrench is a no-brainer for anybody with a draft system.
This faucet wrench is used for installing and removing a faucet from a shank for cleaning. We encourage everyone who buys a faucet to buy a draft tool.
If your home draft system is a mix of ball lock kegs and commercial sanke kegs, having a coupler with ball lock adapters is a huge plus. This allows you to have all your draft lines ending in a ball lock quick disconnect, making it quick and easy to swap lines from sanke keg to ball lock.
Note that the gas-in adapter has a small line cut into the body of the adapter where the bev-out adapter is smooth.
The check valves will need to be installed before first use. The silicone check valve is inserted on the side gas-in port and the check ball and ball retainer are inserted on the top bev-out port.

Perfect addition when purchasing a new sanke style keg coupler or tap. New taps typically come with the correct fittings for your gas line but not your beverage line. These are those fittings!
Used to connect 3/16" or 1/4" beer line.
To connect 3/16" beer line tubing it is helpful to heat the tubing end in hot water.
The KOMOS D-Style coupler is built for use with the most common commercial sanke kegs sold in the USA. Featuring stainless steel body and stainless steel probe, this keg tap is made to last. The coupler comes without fittings so it can be adapted however you sees fit. When assembling, insert the rubber "duck bill" check valve into the side gas-in port. The check ball and ball retainer are placed in the top beverage-out port.
Both gas-in and bev-out ports come bare so you can fit it out exactly how you want it. Maybe you like a larger gas line and smaller beer line—no problem. Or perhaps you're ready to take your draft system into the 21st century with EVABarrier draft tubing and Duotight push-to-connect fittings. Whatever floats your boat, keep your draft setup anchored with the KOMOS keg coupler.
The Green corny keg-style PRV is rated to 4.5 BAR (65 psi). It can be swapped out with PRVs with a higher or lower pressure rating if desired. Always check the pressure rating of your keg before swapping PRVs.
With Duotight adapters you can take your draft system into the 21st century with EVABarrier draft line. This double walled tubing offers superior protection against oxidation, CO2 loss and microbial growth. Plus, it's BPA and PVC free! EVA tubing is the future of draft line for professional applications, and now you can rig up your home system with the same first-class tubing.
4 mm x 8 mm EVABarrier is our recommended size for short beer lines in the 5-6 ft. range. 5 mm x 8 mm EVABarrier is recommended for longer beer lines in the 10-12 ft. range.

1" stainless steel hex nut. Used to attach a tailpiece barb to either a faucet shank or keg coupler. You will also need a tailpiece gasket to form a seal. See below for EPDM, Silicone, and Vinyl options.
Female Beer Thread (5/8" BSP)
5/8" top port opening
Comes in a convenient zip lock bag.
Replace a missing or damaged gas-in check valve on your Sanke Coupler. This one way gas bladder prevents beer from back-flowing up your gas line and into your regulator where it could cause damage.
Comes in a convenient zip lock bag.
Connect draft tubing to your keg coupler or faucet shank. Recommended for 3/16" or 1/4" ID draft lines. Tailpiece and hex nut are made of stainless steel.
The KOMOS shank wrench is designed to tighten the nut on the back of a faucet shank. It is double offset for clearance inside of coffin boxes and larger round towers and to move the handle away from the insulation or other nearby objects. Also super handy when tightening shanks inside a cold box when space is at a premium and it hard to fit a traditional wrench. Pubs have historically made their own, now you can get one the easy way.
Laser Cut from 12 guage 304 Stainless Steel. Offset 3/4" on each end to fit around insulation or inside of small towers.
Features:
1-1/16" 12 Point Wrench

The female side is standard Beer Thread (5/8" BSP) which is used on both ports of standard keg couplers and the tail end of draft shanks. Once installed, you can adapt these input/output ports to any 1/2" fittings and valves you might find useful.
The 1/2" male BSP end may require teflon tape if used with 1/2" NPT fittings.
Made from 304 stainless steel.
The last faucet wrench you'll ever own! The KOMOS Draft Wrench is a professional 7 function draft tool built for a lifetime of adjusting everything from your regulator and draft shanks to your keg coupler and hose clamps. You will appreciate the quality, compared to cheaper stamped draft wrenches, everytime you use it. The KOMOS Draft Wrench is laser cut from 12-gauge 304 Stainless Steel and hand finished. Designed by a draft tech with professional draft techs in mind.
With all of its different functions, the Pro Draft Wrench is sure to save you many back-and-forth trips to the toolbox. However, we suggest a traditional Crescent wrench for loosening over tightened regulator to tank connections. The KOMOS wrench is great for general purpose, but a Crescent wrench is suggested when extra torque is needed.
