On this a suitable tap head can be mounted by means of the propellant gas (eg carbon dioxide) introduced from a separate container into the barrel and thus standing under pressure from the barrel can be promoted to the tap.
  • the keg head is usually provided with a flange on which the tap head, which has a matching receptacle with undercut, is slid sideways.
  • an annular valve disc is arranged, which is pressed by a compression spring in the closed position of the valve.
