TailPieces →

The tailpiece is used in conjunction with a nut and washer for hose  connections. It is also referred to as a hose nipple. Micro Matic offers  economical chrome plated brass or for the ultimate in draft purity –  stainless steel. The barb end is able to grip the interior wall of the hose and when used with the appropriate sized clamp – secures your connection.

Wall Brackets →

A wall bracket is a hose joint/transition point mounted on the wall of the walk-in cooler. Wall brackets are used to make a stable transition from rigid barrier tubing to flexible vinyl hose. Micro Matic wall brackets are available in stainless steel for the ultimate in product purity. Stainless steel wall brackets are included on our secondary panel kits for labor reducing installations.

John Guest Fittings →

John Guest push-in fittings are fast and reliable connection alternative  over traditional compression and barb fittings when connecting two  liquid lines. Simply cut the tubing square and insert it into the fitting.

Beer "Y" & Elbows →

Use a “Y” fitting if you want the beer to service two dispense points from the keg cooler. To avoid crimped or kinked beer lines and to ensure an
unobstructed flow, use an elbow where line routing is confined.

Nuts →

The tailpiece is held onto the coupler, wall bracket, or shank with a nut. “Beer nuts” are available in either a hex style to use with a wrench or wing style that is finger tightened.

Washers →

A food grade polyethelene washer seals the connection under the  tailpiece and nut. To avoid leaks, always use a washer at these beer connections.

shutoffs & Disconnects →

Inline shutoffs are an easy way to turn off beer or pressure flow  downstream from the keg coupler or regulator. We also offer coupler  mounted shutoffs. Quick disconnects are designed to shut-off the beer or gas flow. If you have one regulator and one gas line leading out of it and you use multiple keg couplers; an easy suggestion is to install one female quick disconnect on the line from the regulator, and then install one male connection on each of your couplers. You can make a quick gas connection to any coupler in just seconds!

Clamps →

Micro Matic offers a full range of clamps perfect for all connections.

Stepless stainless steel clamps are the industry standard due to their positive 360° grip. A full range of sizes is offered for use on both vinyl and barrier tubing. Stepless clamps require a special crimping tool for installation and removal.

O-clamp single ear zinc plated clamps are economical and easy to crimp and remove. Double ear stainless steel clamps offer a step up from single ear with more clamping force for a secure seal. Both  O-clamps require a special crimping tool for installation and removal.

A micro worm gear clamp is easy to tighten using a flat head  screwdriver. These stainless steel clamps are great for temporary  installations or if hose is removed often.

Plastic snap clamps are ideal for home dispensing and yield fast connections. Simply squeeze together using your fingers. Easy to  release with a pair of pliers

Splicers/ unions →

Splicers are required to join two hoses of the same I.D. (inside diameter) or to make a transition from a larger I.D. to a smaller I.D. Match a splicer size to the I.D. hoses to be used.

Straight - The most common splicer, straight, is offered in the most  configurations. All Micro Matic straight splicers are stainless steel to  ensure the best in beer purity.

Elbow & U Bends - A stainless steel elbow or U bend produces an unhindered liquid flow opposed to a kinked line. All Micro Matic elbows and U bends are stainless steel to ensure the best in beer purity. Also applied to glycol and pressure flow connections.

Cross - liquid flows into one leg of the cross, and then out in three directions. All Micro Matic cross fittings are stainless steel to ensure the best in beer purity. Also applied to pressure flow connections.

Inline “T” & “Y” - inline “T” or “Y” are ideal for dividing beer from the keg cooler or for pressure flow in two directions. A “T” for pressure flow is available in brass, stainless steel or metal.
