What is the Z163B?
Designed to be the perfect keg dispensing unit for both commercial and residential environments, Kegco's Z163B-1NK Dual Faucet Kegerator is durable enough to withstand the demands of busy bars and restaurants yet quiet and energy efficient enough to make a great addition to your home.
Elegant Look
This beautiful freestanding keg refrigerator's all-black cabinet and chrome accents will look stylish with any decor. The kegerator cabinet comes with a double tap draft dispense system that features 100% stainless contact.
Useful Features
The Z163B-2NK boasts many of the same great features that you've come to expect in Kegco keg dispensers, including a removable built-in drip tray and chrome guard rail that help minimize messes and make clean-up fast and simple. Easy rolling casters allow you to move the kegerator from room to room for added versatility.
Why the Z163B?
The beer refrigerator has an impressive 5.8 cu.ft. interior that is large enough to hold one full size, pony, or quarter slim keg, two 5 gallon commercial kegs, three ball lock kegs, or two pin lock kegs. This allows you to store and dispense from two different 5 gallon kegs at the same time, giving your customers and guests a variety of beers to choose from.
Durability & Functionality
The keg cooler has been designed with a steel interior floor mat that evenly distributes the weight of the kegs, helping to ensure long-lasting durability. When you aren't using this unit to store and dispense kegs, it can be converted into a regular all-refrigerator using the three included wire shelves, providing extra refrigerated storage space for food and other beverages.
How is the Performance?
Enjoy precise control over your keg refrigerator's internal temperature thanks to intuitive digital controls and a clear LED display. The Z163B-1NK has one of the widest temperature ranges of any kegerator on the market today and can be set between 32 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
Fan Forced Cooling
This beer dispenser uses fan-forced cooling to evenly distribute cold air throughout the cabinet, helping to prevent hot spots and ensure a reliable storage environment for your kegs. Cold air is also directed into the draft tower to keep your beer ice cold from the keg to your glass. For added convenience, the kegerator also features automatic defrost.

This tank is produced from high strength aluminum alloy 6061-T6, a highly corrosion-resistant material. The service pressure is up to 1800 PSI/124 BAR with a test pressure of 3000 PSI/207 BAR. These cylinders are stamped with the required U.S. Department of Transportation and Transport Canada markings. The 320 valves are CGA approved, and have a male thread for CO2 regulators. An average fill is good for 5-6 kegs depending upon your fill. - Includes Commercial Grade Dual Gauge CO2 Regulator
The regulator works with any CO2 tank with a CGA-320 valve and measures PSI, as well as the volume of the CO2 gas in the cylinder. It has a pressure release valve and a large hand control which makes it easy to adjust the pressure inside the keg. - Includes 5 feet of 5/16 Inch I.D. Blue Air Line Assembly with 2 Snap Clamps

I love Christmas Dave of Sandbridge Beer ClubMy wife surprised me with my new Kegerator. She ordered all the upgrades which I highly recommend. Easy to hook up and maintain. Once you adjust the CO2 the rest is gravy. Best Christmas present ever. We had a Christmas party planned and the Kegerator was a huge hit. I simply cannot list anything negative about the Kegerator.

I love it Edwin MeroneyBeen looking for a long time. now that I have it I wish I had bought it years ago. Drinking beer is a lot cheaper now. Setup was very easy. Only problem I had was nothing but foam at first. Went online and discovered the system needs to be balanced. Added five feet of beer line and all problems are now solved. Maybe they need to address this when you buy it. Very happy

Performs great BobI've only used it on a 15.5 Gallon keg so far, but there is no reason it won't work great with two or more smaller kegs.
I have checked the temperature of the beer in the keg and it is within 2 deg of the set temp.
The temperature displayed for the inside of the kegerator is quite a bit off, but is of little consequence.

Excellent Kegerator for the price ElderYetiI acquired this during a sale and it did not ship with some of the additional parts that you can find on Amazon for the same one. However, that was fine by me as I was looking to save money.
Assembling the unit didn't take long at all. The temperature is pretty accurate (I bought a digital thermometer to also gauge the accuracy and they are within a degree of each other.
I will say that I am using Northern Brewer's Draft Kegs and they use ball locks. I had to make some modifications to the connections but no issues.
The beer pours nice and cold. I am very happy with the system thus far!
Feel free to contact me directly to help you set up a system that is suited for your needs.

Yes, I have the ability to offer you the unit without additional parts. Plus, I typically have the ability to offer savings not seen online.

Great Product/Great Customer ServiceHad this for almost a year and we use it pretty much daily. Had a small issue with the temp and freezing up, but the customer service department got us hooked up with the part we needed right away. Was concerned about having it shipped, however, all was well when we received it. Driver stayed while I un-packaged everything. Runs like a champ and we are considering a second one.
