## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this convert my domestic tap system to the european coupling needed for guiness keg?**
A: Yes U coupler is what a guinness keg takes but not all other European kegs

**Q: Do you need to buy a nipple for the top for the beer line to attach to?**
A: It’s the same standard nipple as all other beer lines, it’s just the coupler for the keg that’s different, I hope this answers your question. Happy drinking my friend.

**Q: Is this coupler stainless steel or chrome plated brass?**
A: I just received this U coupler today. It is all stainless steel, and looks like it is well made.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as it should, but it's not like a Sankey
*by B***S on May 5, 2020*

The coupler works fine, but if you've only ever used a Sankey (Type D) coupler, you need to be aware that Type U works differently. Sankey couplers charging handle engages very easily, with no effort required to get it to latch in place. U Type require you to lean your weight on it and push down hard in order to get it to click into place. If you're expecting it to feel like a Sankey, you'll think it's defective because it won't latch into place. You gotta push!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works on Irish Kegs
*by L***G on June 11, 2023*

Says it's a Guinness tap but it's also fits Smithwicks and Harp Kegs.

### ⭐ Poor quality product
*by J***B on July 8, 2025*

Ordered back in April and already has broken. Pressure release valve keeps leaking and cant pressurize keg. Cant get ahold of anyone for support.
