Do you own a kegerator bought from one of the big box retailers? Have you ever tried to replace your faucet and wonder why it didn’t fit on your tower, or switch to a different keg coupler and it didn’t fit on your beer line? Well, there are certain appliance companies that reverse-engineered the draft beer components and when these items were produced the industry standards were ignored.
Here is a list of some of the brands that I have run into over the years that don’t conform to industry standards. Some of these companies have changed their tune and now include industry-standard components.
| Manufacturer | Model Years Affected |
| Danby | 2004 and earlier |
| Avanti | All |
| Haier | 2004 and earlier |
| Nostalgia Electronics | All |
If you have a kegerator that’s not listed above, please contact us so we can include it in this list. (We are continuing to compile a more complete list of kegerators that do not conform to industry standards, and would love your feedback.)
The good news is that you can replace these parts with industry-standard parts. All of the draft beer components we carry conform to industry standards. If you are unsure of the replacement part you need, give our knowledgeable staff a call and they will help you find the components you need.
