Black Compensator Beer Tap – 1/2" BSP Thread x 5/16" Push-Fit Inlet
The Black Compensator Beer Tap is an adjustable flow tap designed for professional draught beer and beverage dispense systems. The integrated compensator allows the flow rate to be adjusted directly at the tap, making it useful for balancing dispense speed to suit the individual system.
Featuring a 1/2" BSP threaded connection and 5/16" push-fit product inlet, the tap can be fitted to compatible beer fonts, towers and portable dispense equipment.
The black plastic body provides a practical, lightweight tap for pubs, bars, mobile bars, events and other draught dispense installations.
Adjustable Flow Compensator Beer Tap
Unlike a standard freeflow beer tap, a compensator tap incorporates an adjustable flow control mechanism.
The side adjustment allows additional restriction to be introduced at the tap, enabling the dispense flow to be increased or reduced according to the requirements of the system.
This can be particularly useful on portable dispense equipment or installations where the required flow rate may need occasional adjustment.

How a Compensator Beer Tap Works
The compensator mechanism provides adjustable restriction immediately before the dispense outlet.
Adjusting the compensator changes the flow through the tap, allowing the pouring speed to be altered without changing the main product pressure.
The tap should be adjusted as part of a correctly balanced draught system rather than used to compensate for incorrect gas pressure, warm product or other dispense faults.
5/16" Push-Fit Product Inlet
The tap is supplied with a 5/16" push-fit inlet, allowing compatible 5/16" OD beer pipe to be connected directly to the tap assembly.
Push-fit connections make installation and removal straightforward when servicing or altering compatible dispense equipment.
1/2" BSP Thread
The 1/2" BSP threaded connection allows the tap to be installed onto compatible beer fonts, towers and dispense equipment using the appropriate mounting arrangement.
Always check the thread size and available mounting space against your existing equipment before ordering.
Important
A compensator tap controls product flow rate, but correct draught dispense also depends on gas pressure, product temperature, beer line resistance and the overall system setup.
Always ensure the complete dispense system is correctly balanced before making final adjustments at the tap.
