Important questions & answers (FAQ)
What beverages is the Raffeiner JUNIOR Compensator Tap Dark suitable for?
The compensator tap is a true all-rounder and universally suitable. It is ideal for beer, soft drinks, water, soda, and – with the right plunger – nitro beverages.
Which thread length do I need for my dispensing system?
The right length depends on the wall thickness of your dispensing column or dispensing wall. The tap is available in four lengths (35, 55, 72, and 83 mm), so you can find the exact fit for any installation situation.
What is the integrated compensator used for?
The compensator regulates the flow pressure directly in the tap. This allows the flow rate to be adjusted continuously to the pressure of the keg. This prevents excessive foaming and enables pressure-independent, smooth dispensing.
What are the benefits of the self-closing option?
With self-closing versions, the dispensing lever automatically springs back to the starting position as soon as it is released. This reliably protects against accidental dripping or the tap being left open during operation.
Is the tap suitable for nitro beverages?
Yes. Simply choose the optional plunger for nitro beverages when ordering. This creates the typical cascade effect and creamy head for nitro coffee or nitro stout.
