TOF Compensator Dispensing Tap with Self-Closing Mechanism - Professional Pouring Made Easy
The TOF Compensator Dispensing Tap is the ideal choice for restaurants, clubhouses, and discerning home brewers, who value a perfect head and efficient dispensing. Thanks to the integrated compensator function, the flow pressure of the beer can be adjusted continuously, ensuring foam-free, controlled dispensing even with unchilled keg beer or higher CO₂ pressure.
With its extra-large 10 mm beverage line diameter, the tap delivers particularly high flow rates – ideal for serving quickly during peak times. The built-in self-closing mechanism ensures that the tap closes immediately when released, preventing any waste. The integrated foam button ("crack function") provides a visual highlight when serving, allowing you to add a perfect, firm head to every glass.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the compensator function used for?
The compensator regulates the flow pressure of the beverage line using an adjustable throttling cone inside the tap. This allows you to compensate for different CO₂ levels or higher line pressure directly at the dispensing tap, without the beer foaming excessively in the glass.
What does the foam button do?
When the dispensing lever is pushed backward against the normal dispensing direction (foam button), the cross-section in the tap narrows slightly. This creates a fine, creamy foam that perfectly finishes the beer glass.
Which thread length do I need (35 mm, 55 mm, or 65 mm)?
The thread length depends on the wall thickness of your dispensing column or dispensing system:
-
35 mm: Standard for thin-walled stainless steel or brass dispensing columns.
-
55 mm: For thicker dispensing columns, wooden paneling, or insulated wall penetrations.
-
65 mm: For particularly thick walls, dispensing counters, or special penetrations.
Is the tap compatible with my dispensing system?
Yes, the dispensing tap has a standardized 5/8" thread, which is the standard for most dispensing columns and dispensing systems in the commercial and hobby sectors.
What are the advantages of the ABS spout?
ABS plastic is flavor-neutral, food-safe, resistant to beer stone buildup, and easy to clean. The smooth surface also prevents unwanted turbulence as the beer exits.
Can the self-closing mechanism be deactivated?
The dispensing tap is designed as a self-closing tap from the factory, which is required by many dispensing systems (especially in the commercial sector) for hygiene and safety reasons.
