The
FlexHoseTap® is a Argon pressure regulated wine tap that uses winery approved
Argon gas. Made in the US with high quality stainless steel and aluminum. The
top-of-the-line regulator is made in Japan, not China, big difference and has
an integrated puncture pin and seal for the included 26g Argon cylinders. One
Argon cylinder will easily preserve and push all of the wine out of 1/6 wine
barrels. This kit includes 2 Filled 26g Argon Cylinders.
How it Works
The FlexHoseTap® comes assembled and ready to use. No tools needed.
Get your keg settled in its final place
• Attach the FlexHoseTap® coupler into slot on keg and twist it into place.
• Make sure the FlexHoseTap® black dispensing handle is closed; its normal position.
• Lock the handle down on the coupler
• Turn the regulator to the off position
• Insert the Argon cartridge, turning in firmly, but do not over tighten
• Get a glass
• Open the black faucet by pushing the handle with your thumb
• Now, with the faucet open, slowly turn the regulator knob until wine starts to flow, stop turning at that point.
•You can add some more pressure, but not too much, this will only waste gas.
•Saving the keg for the next few days is easy. Keep it cold and use the regulator, add about 10psi of pressure to the keg. Turn the regulator off and immediately remove the FlexHoseTap® from the keg. You can leave the Argon cartridge in the regulator. The keg seals off when you remove the FlexHose®.
Variations
The FlexHoseTap®
is available in two different configurations depending on the keg style you are
using. 99.9% of the time, go with the default.
1. The standard
default is P/N 50570 with the most widely used in North America, the US Sankey
base.
2. The next
most popular is P/N 50570-EU which is used on some European kegs. Ask your beer
retailer to be sure.

Back Story
In 2012 we were contacted by Free Flow Wines of Sonoma California as they had seen our famous draft beer taps for kegs.
They needed a portable system to flow their kegged wine at tastings, parties and receptions all over the US and Canada.
After confirming the quality of our Argon and Nitrogen filled cartridges, we swapped out our standard coupler with one made from 304 Stainless Steel.
Anything else would change the flavor and damage the complexities of the wine.
Today, our gas and components are used worldwide to properly dispense wine. We are always open to experimenting with new gas-powered beverage dispensing systems.
Be Kind…Air
Kills Wine™
When you see
someone pumping air into a wine keg, rather than Argon or Nitrogen, they are
forcing the degradation of the wine. The FlexHoseTap® comes completely
assembled and ready to use. Just pick up a keg of wine and ice! Each unit comes with two of the 26g Argon
Filled cylinders which are truly beverage grade and winery approved.
