8 Tap TT Bar Brushed Stainless Font Kit (without Taps)

8 Tap TT Bar Brushed Stainless Font Kit is a large-capacity draught tower designed for systems that need more than four beverage taps. Its wide horizontal layout provides space for eight separate tap positions while creating a cleaner and more professional appearance than installing several individual column fonts.

This font is suitable for home bars, large keezer builds, tasting rooms, clubs and custom draught installations. It gives brewers and venue operators the flexibility to serve multiple beers, ciders, soft drinks, sparkling water or other compatible kegged beverages from one organised tower.

The kit includes the main mounting and dispensing components required for assembly. However, beverage taps are not included and must be purchased separately.

Designed for Eight Beverage Taps

The TT Bar allows up to eight separate beverages to be connected.

Possible serving combinations include:

• Eight different homebrew beers
• Core and seasonal beer ranges
• Beer, cider and soft drinks
• Alcoholic and non-alcoholic options
• Tasting flight selections
• Multiple experimental recipes
• Sparkling water and flavoured beverages

A multi-tap system is ideal for brewers who regularly keep several kegs connected or want to provide a wider range of drinks while entertaining.

Cleaner Multi-Tap Installation

Using one wide tower can create a neater appearance than installing multiple smaller fonts across a bar or freezer lid.

Benefits include:

• Centralised beverage lines
• Fewer separate mounting points
• Cleaner visual presentation
• Easier system planning
• Better access for servicing
• Professional draught bar appearance
• More organised line routing

The brushed stainless finish suits modern kegerators, custom bars and commercial-style home setups.

What Is Included

The 8 Tap TT Bar Brushed Stainless Font Kit includes:

• TT Bar stainless steel tower
• Mounting hardware
• Tower collars
• Eight compatible tap shanks
• Tap handles
• Beverage hosing
• Gaskets
• Internal foam insulation

Taps are not included.

Check the package contents before installation, as fittings and hose lengths may vary with production updates or supplier configurations.

Taps Sold Separately

This kit is supplied without taps, allowing you to select the models that best suit your beverage system.

Compatible options may include:

• NukaTap stainless steel taps
• Forward-sealing beer taps
• Suitable stout taps
• Flow-control taps
• Other taps compatible with the supplied shanks

Confirm thread and shank compatibility before ordering taps.

The final choice may depend on the beverages being served. For example, a standard beer tap, stout tap and sparkling water tap may require different components or pressure settings.

Duotight-Compatible Tap Shanks

The included tap shanks are suitable for use with compatible Duotight push-to-connect fittings.

Duotight fittings simplify line installation because compatible tubing pushes directly into the fitting without traditional hose clamps.

Potential benefits include:

• Faster installation
• Easy line removal
• Cleaner internal layout
• Convenient servicing
• Simple line replacement
• Reduced use of clamps

Always cut the tubing squarely with a suitable line cutter. Push the tubing fully into the fitting and gently pull back to confirm it is locked.

Best Used with EVABarrier Tubing

Duotight fittings pair well with EVABarrier beverage and gas line.

EVABarrier tubing is commonly chosen for draught systems because it helps reduce:

• Oxygen ingress
• Carbon dioxide loss
• Flavour transfer
• Microbial growth
• Staining and odour retention

The correct tubing size must match the supplied fittings and shanks.

Avoid using damaged, crushed or unevenly cut tubing, as this may cause leaks.

Tower Dimensions

• Length: 750mm
• Diameter: 127mm or 5 inches
• Height: 406mm
• Approximate distance between column centres: 406mm

The wide 5-inch tower body provides enough internal space for many users to reach the shanks by hand or with a suitable draught wrench.

Measure the intended mounting area carefully before installation.

Allow sufficient space for:

• Tap handles
• Glass clearance
• Drip trays
• Beverage lines
• Lid movement
• Nearby walls or cupboards

Assembly Instructions

Assembly is required.

A general assembly process includes:

1. Remove the dust caps from each side of the font.
2. Carefully remove the foam insulation.
3. Begin with the innermost shank hole on one side.
4. Install the shank securely.
5. Attach the beverage tubing before moving to the next hole.
6. Continue working outward.
7. Repeat the process on the opposite side.
8. Check that all shanks are aligned and secure.
9. Reinsert the foam insulation.
10. Trim the insulation if it is too thick to fit correctly.
11. Replace the dust caps.
12. Mount the tower using the supplied hardware.
13. Install the selected taps.
14. Connect and test each beverage line.

Installing the inner shanks first makes access easier.

Insulation

The tower includes foam insulation to help reduce heat transfer around the beverage lines.

The supplied foam may be thicker than required and may need to be trimmed before it is reinstalled.

Good insulation can help reduce:

• Warm first pours
• Excessive foaming
• Temperature changes inside the tower
• Condensation
• Uneven serving performance

For demanding installations, additional cold-air circulation or dedicated font cooling may improve results.

Mounting Considerations

Before drilling:

• Confirm the exact mounting location
• Check for refrigeration lines
• Inspect the underside of the mounting surface
• Measure the tower footprint
• Confirm glass and drip-tray clearance
• Plan the beverage line route
• Ensure the surface is strong enough
• Check that freezer or fridge lids can still open

When mounting onto a keezer lid or kegerator, take extra care to avoid hidden cooling components.

Use only suitable hardware for the mounting surface.

Beverage Line Balancing

An eight-tap setup requires careful line balancing.

Pouring performance depends on:

• Beverage temperature
• Gas pressure
• Carbonation level
• Line length
• Line diameter
• Tap height
• Beverage type
• Tap design

Different drinks may need different pressure or line configurations.

Do not shorten beverage lines before testing the system. A line that is too short can cause fast and foamy pours.

Gas Distribution

Eight connected kegs require a suitable gas distribution setup.

Depending on the system, you may need:

• Gas manifold
• Splitters
• Non-return valves
• Secondary regulators
• Individual pressure-control devices
• Separate gas zones

Beverages such as lager, stout and sparkling water may require different serving pressures. A single regulator may not be suitable for every keg.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Clean all beverage-contact parts before first use and regularly thereafter.

Clean the lines, shanks and taps:

• After a keg becomes empty
• Between beverage changes
• After serving sweet drinks
• Before extended storage
• Whenever flavour changes
• When pouring performance declines

Inspect:

• Shank seals
• Tubing
• Duotight fittings
• Tap threads
• Gaskets
• Mounting hardware
• Insulation
• Dust caps

Replace worn, cracked or leaking parts promptly.

Recommended Accessory

The following accessory is recommended but not included:

• KL32988 – 27mm Compact Ring Spanner Tool

A compact ring spanner can make shank installation and maintenance easier inside the tower.

The 8 Tap TT Bar Brushed Stainless Font Kit is ideal for:

• Large home bars
• Eight-keg keezer builds
• Custom kegerators
• Tasting rooms
• Clubs
