The right tool for every spear.
These tools are used to depressurise a spear, release it from the keg neck, disassemble it and install it again. For tightening to the correct torque, there is a mounting disc for the ½″ torque wrench for each system.
A pressurised keg can be life-threatening.
If a spear comes loose under pressure, it shoots out of the keg neck with great force. This can cause serious and fatal injuries.
- Vent immediately before removal.No time may pass between releasing the pressure and removing the spear. Pressure can build up in the keg again within just a few hours, and considerably more after days, from sun or heat. A keg that was vented yesterday is under pressure again today.
- Treat every spear as if it had no safety system.Even a spear with a safety system, whether type A, G, S or M, may have been tampered with by a previous owner. On type A, for example, cutting off the safety lug is enough. So always expect a spear to shoot out.
- Keep your head and hands out of the area above the spear.Never work with your face over the keg. The space directly above the spear, into which it can shoot out, must always be kept clear.
If there is beer residue left in the keg, beer can spray out during venting. A cloth over the tool catches it.
Always work with safety glasses and gloves.
Tools for type A, G and M
Type A and type G have the same internal parts and are removed and installed in the same way. Both are tightened to 80 ± 5 Nm.
Screw-in/screw-out and decompression tool type A
Releases the pressure from the keg before removal and then unscrews the spear. The spear is only loosened once no more gas escapes.
Mounting/dismounting gun type A
Clicks onto the spear and unlocks the safety lock so that the spear can be taken out of the keg neck and inserted again.
Disassembly/assembly tool type A and G
For disassembly and reassembly when a removed spear is overhauled. Fits type A and type G.
Mounting disc type A and M
Connects the spear to a ½″ torque wrench for loosening and for tightening to the specified torque.
Opening aid for flat spears from other manufacturers
For opening and removing flat spears of other designs that cannot be released with the tools for AOBAOSI spears.
Mounting disc type G
For the type G triangular spear, also with a ½″ square drive for the torque wrench.
Tools for type S
The type S EU Sankey spear is pressed straight into the keg neck and removed again with the T-key.
T-key type S
For the AOBAOSI type S EU Sankey spear, this one key is all you need. Set into the recess of the spear, a quarter turn opens the valve and releases the pressure. Turned further, its metal tongue presses the safety clip inwards, after which the spear can be unscrewed. The key also fits type S EU Sankey spears from other manufacturers.
Release tool for Sankey spears from other manufacturers
For Sankey spears of other designs. The nose of the tool reaches deeper into the spear and presses the lock inwards by itself.
Disassembly/assembly tool type S
For disassembling and reassembling the type S EU Sankey spear during overhaul.
Mounting disc type S and D
For the ½″ torque wrench, for tightening the type S EU Sankey spear and likewise the D spear with external thread.
Tighten to the right torque.
The mounting disc sits on the spear and takes the ½″ square drive of the torque wrench. AOBAOSI does not supply the torque wrench itself; any standard wrench with a ½″ drive and a suitable measuring range will do.
