do you tap this with same tap/pump as a regular size keg?

No, there is a c02 spout adapter that goes into the top of the keg. Or the bottom side has a plastic spout that pulls out to dispense.

Tap is permanently installed in the keg. You just pull it out to pour. So no, you do not tap this the same tap/pump as a regular sized keg as there is no need to do so. There is no need for a pump as it is gravity draining.

I replaced a single tap with a double tap on my danby kegerator and it fits perfectly. I also added dual regulators to control both kegs. and the only issue I had was getting two lines of CO2 into the back. I had to replace the existing hose with a more flexible one and managed to get both through the hole. If you are not using dual regulators you can tee off on the inside. Hope this helps.

no u theres no tube that runs up to the tap. I bought an edgestar optional co2 mini keg tap for home brew, edgestar sells a kegerator for mini kegs and to be honest I haven't used it yet, bcuz i'm lagering sum beer and wont be ready for at least two months. I was advised to trim 3/4" from the tube provided with the kit so it doesn't suck up the trub, and probably have to force carbonate the beer as well. I hope some of this helps

The instructions included with this unit imply that any 5L gravity or pressurized keg will work. The instruction manual states the following : "This unit will cool and dispense beer using 5L gravity kegs and pressurized kegs." The manual then states " There are two types of 5 litre kegs available which can be used in this cooler. The first type is pressurized and the beer is dispensed through the upper lid mechanism. Only pressurized beer kegs can be dispensed through the top. Install the dispensing tube supplied with the pressurized keg into the center top of the keg. DO NOT install the small plastic paddle that comes with the pressurized keg. Gently lower the keg into the cooler taking care to line up the dispensing tube with the cooler's spout. The SECOND type of 5L keg is NON pressurized (gravity dispense), and utilizes the small clear door on the side of the cooler. Line up the spigot on the side of the can, pull through the small door opening and dispense per the instructions on the keg.

make sure it fits your tap as it does not fit mine. seems like beer gun would be better, less foam and more even fill.

I installed a 1/6 keg in mine and it fit just right except the height was so tall that I had to use a low profile tap which brought the hoses out the side instead of the top.

No, the fittings that come with the kit are for Sankey kegs. You will have to visit your LHBS or the Kegco website for corny-fittings.

You would need the accessory kit for any non-pressurized keg. I am even going one step further and getting nalgene plastic growlers from my favorite local brewer and directly tapping them. I had to engineer a rubber stopper with a hole in the middle that would fit the growler though. You might be able to buy something like that even. The reason: The growler is dishwasher safe and much easier to clean than those damn mini kegs.

No this is a standard d Sankey .. it will fit domestic kegs ... bud bud light miller coors etc

It does not. I asked this question before my purchase and was mislead. You need to purchase the kit so it will work with all types of kegs.

I haven't thought about it being used with beer before. The twist top fitting is designed specifically for water bottles. It is air tight. Granted I haven't been around a keg in a while so I can't say about the fittings. But if what you have or can adapt to a general five-gallon water bottle fitting, then I don't see why not.

My Son-in law did that and it works fine. The distance (tubing) to the tap need to be short to keep it cool.

No. I have two kegs in my kegerator (I just use a picnic tap on the other one if I want to use it).

It comes with the black tap handles as shown. The beer line has connections for standard kegs.

Yes. Perfectly. To make it work more efficiently I removed the burner, flipped the whole thing upside down and reinstalled the burner on the top. This brings it closer to the bottom of the pot since kegs have that lip on the bottom.

Not with the regulator that is supplied with the unit. The one that ships with this unit is a single valve regulator with a "T" connector for running CO2 to both the individual kegs/lines. I upgraded the regulator when I bought this unit (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0060NOX40/ref=oh_details_o05_s02_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I am extremely pleased with it, as it lets me shut the CO2 to each keg as needed. If you plan on having more than a keg active at one time, I really feel that this saves CO2 and gives you the ability to pressurize each keg as you need to. You can find cheaper dual pressure regulators, but this one is quality.

Yes this faucet should fit. All faucets in the US use standard fittings. Where you will encounter differences is in how the beer line connects to your keg (taps). If using store bought kegs your brand new setup should be fine, if using "corny" kegs you will have to change fittings on keg end. As a side note to prevent beer foaming look at using 10' of beer line. Check out www.homebrewtalk.com for some additional kegging advice. Have fun and enjoy.
