The Triple Tap Kegco HK38SSU-3 Delivers Draft Beer Ice Cold Every Time
A reliable draft system matters, whether you're serving customers at a busy bar or hosting friends in your backyard. The Kegco HK38SSU-3 delivers cold, clean pours every single time.

Powerful Cooling That Keeps Every Pour Ice Cold
Lukewarm beer disappoints customers and guests alike. The 3,200 BTU commercial-grade compressor inside this kegerator is the most powerful in its class, pulling temperatures down quickly and recovering fast after frequent door openings during busy service or parties.
The forced air refrigeration system distributes cold air evenly throughout the cabinet with no hot spots and no warm surprises. Cold air is also directed up into the air-cooled draft tower, keeping your beer lines chilled all the way to the faucet. This means less foam between pours and consistently cold beer from the first glass to the last.
With a temperature range of 32°F to 59°F, you have full control over how cold your drinks are served, whether you're pouring lagers at near-freezing temps or serving craft ales a bit warmer to bring out the flavor.
Why the HK38SSU-3 Kegerator Works Indoors and Out
Built entirely from stainless steel inside and out, this kegerator stands up to heavy use in a commercial setting and weather exposure in outdoor spaces. Sun, rain, heat... it's rated for outdoor use with a maximum ambient temperature of 100°F.
The front-venting design gives you flexibility:
- Build it into cabinetry for a clean, integrated look behind your bar
- Use it freestanding with the included stainless steel guard rail in your garage or patio
- Place it in an outdoor kitchen or BBQ island without blocking airflow
A locking stainless steel door keeps your kegs secure from staff or party guests, and a door alarm sounds if it's left open too long.
Flexible Keg Configurations for Any Setup
Bars, restaurants, and home setups all have different needs, and this kegerator adapts to each one. The spacious interior accommodates multiple keg sizes and configurations, so you can serve a single high-volume house beer or rotate through a selection of craft options.
It holds:
- (1) full-size half-barrel keg for high-volume pours
- (2) quarter slim kegs when you want two options on tap
- (3) 5-gallon commercial or homebrew kegs for maximum variety
Bars can rotate seasonal selections without swapping equipment, and homebrewers can pour their latest batch right alongside commercial favorites. The durable stainless steel interior cleans up easier than the plastic liners found in many competing models, making keg changes quick and hassle-free.
Note: This kegerator will not fit 50L European kegs. Kegs taller than 23.25" may not fit with the coupler installed. Most major brands like Coors, Miller, and standard domestic kegs fit without issue.
Premium Dispensing Components Included
You won't need to source extra parts before your first pour. Everything you need comes in the box:
- 14.5" Polished Stainless Steel Draft Tower: This Kegco exclusive, NSF-approved tower has a 3" diameter and comes with three stainless steel faucets plus three 5-foot lengths of 3/16" I.D. clear beer tubing. The extra tall height makes filling growlers and tall pint glasses easier. Mounting gasket and screws included.
- 5 lb. Aluminum CO2 Tank with Electric Red Epoxy Finish: Made from high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum alloy for superior corrosion resistance. The glossy powder-coated finish adds extra protection against wear. Service pressure rated up to 1800 PSI/124 BAR (test pressure: 3000 PSI/207 BAR). Stamped with U.S. DOT and Transport Canada markings. CGA-320 approved valve with male thread for CO2 regulators. One fill typically lasts 5-6 kegs.
- Premium Double Gauge CO2 Regulator: Works with any CGA-320 valve CO2 tank and displays both PSI and gas volume in the cylinder. Features a pressure release valve and large hand control for easy keg pressure adjustments. Includes a three-way air distributor with shut-off valves to feed CO2 to all three kegs at the same pressure.
- Three D System Lever Handle Keg Couplers: Commercial-grade couplers compatible with all American "D" system Sankey kegs. Built with nickel-plated forged brass bodies and 55 PSI pressure relief valves. To tap, simply pull the lever handle out and push down.
All dispensing accessories are UL recognized and meet commercial standards, so bar owners can trust the quality while homeowners get professional-grade equipment.
Easy-Access Digital Controls
The front-mounted digital control panel sits at the top of the cabinet, away from the dispensing system and easy to reach without moving kegs or bending down. You can view and adjust the temperature at a glance, even during busy service.
The controls let you:
- Set temperatures anywhere between 32°F and 59°F
- Toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit display
- Turn the interior light on or off with a single button
This wide temperature range gives you the flexibility to serve more than just beer. Set it lower for crisp lagers or dial it up for wine, cold brew coffee, kombucha, or soda at their ideal serving temps. Bars can expand their draft menu, and homeowners can switch between beverages depending on the season or occasion.
The digital display also helps you catch temperature issues before they affect your kegs, so you're never caught off guard by a warm pour or over-chilled batch.
Converts to a Full-Size Refrigerator When Needed
This kegerator doesn't sit idle when you're between kegs. The unit comes with two full-width adjustable wire shelves that let you convert the interior into standard cold storage whenever you need it.
The shelves adjust in 1/2-inch increments, giving you control over the spacing to fit:
- Bottles and cans for extra drink storage
- Food prep items or ingredients that need to stay cold
- Backup stock during busy periods at your bar
For bar owners, this means the unit stays useful during slow seasons or between keg deliveries. For homeowners, it doubles as overflow storage when you're hosting large gatherings or simply not running kegs at the moment. The same 32°F to 59°F temperature range applies, so everything inside stays properly chilled.
When you're ready to tap again, just remove the shelves and load your kegs back in.
