Single Faucet Jockey Box - 48 Qt., One 3/8"-1/4" O.D. 120' SS Coil - Red
Jockey Boxes are ideal for outdoor or party beer dispensing. The jockey box allows you to dispense ice cold beer without having to keep the kegs themselves cool. Beer is pumped into the jockey box and through a stainless steel coil that is submerged in icewater. As it travels through the coil, it is cooled down and comes out nice and cold on the other side. These coils are superior to other brands due to their square coils that stand on legs to allow ice-cold water to chill beer from underneath and have more space between tubes which allows the water to chill beer faster.
This single faucet Jockey Box uses a red colored 48-quart cooler with Ultratherm foam insulation for superior cold retention. The cooler lid holds open at 95° for easy access and features heavy-duty side handles for easy carrying. Designed to dispense one keg, the jockey box includes a chrome-plated brass faucet with brass lever, a black plastic faucet knob, stainless steel shank and ice box coupler assemblies, and a 70' 5/16" O.D. stainless steel coil.
A stainless coil is far superior for cooling than the "cold plate" style jockey box.

I purchased this to serve my homebrew at a friend's wedding last weekend. It worked flawlessly. Simply hooked up my corny kegs to the box and CO2 tank, slowly turned the pressure up to get the beer flowing into the line. Once beer was coming out I set pressure to 35psi and added ice/water to the box; nice and cold.
The kegs were at about 70 degrees that day but the beer coming from the tap was perfectly chilled. We went through 25 gallons of homebrew without a single issue.
The only reason I'm not giving a perfect 5 starts is that the cooler lid does not hold open at 95 degrees. minor issue and I would give it 4.5 stars if the rating system allowed.
