Kegco HK38BSU-1 Built-In Kegerator, Single Tap, Stainless Steel, 24"W
Kegco HK38BSU-1 Delivers Bar-Quality Draft Beer Without the Hassle of Traditional Kegerators
Your bar, restaurant, or home setup deserves better than lukewarm beer and messy pours. Traditional kegerators take up floor space, create inconsistent temperatures, and often lack the cooling power to keep drinks perfectly chilled during busy service or weekend gatherings. The Kegco HK38BSU-1 changes the game with an undercounter design that fits directly into cabinetry while delivering ice-cold draft beer every time.
- 3200 BTU powerful compressor for the fastest temperature recovery in its class
- Front-venting built-in design slides into cabinetry to maximize floor space
- Forced air cooling into the tower keeps beer lines cold to the faucet for less foam
- Wide 32-59°F temperature range serves beer, wine, kombucha, or cold brew at ideal temps
- Complete draft kit included with CO2 tank, regulator, D system coupler, and all lines
- 100% stainless steel beer contact on the NSF-approved 14-inch draft tower
- Flexible keg capacity holds 1 half-barrel, 2 quarter-slim, or 3 five-gallon kegs
- Stainless steel interior resists corrosion and cleans easier than plastic liners
- Locking door with alarm protects your investment and prevents temperature loss
- Converts to refrigerator with 2 adjustable shelves when kegs aren't in use
- Note: Will not fit 50L European kegs or certain tall German kegs with M system couplers
The HK38BSU-1 Packs 3200 BTU Cooling Power and a Premium Stainless Steel Draft Tower
Most undercounter kegerators struggle to maintain temperature during high-demand periods. This unit delivers 3200 BTUs of cooling capacity, the most powerful compressor in its class.
- Rapid temperature pulldown brings freshly loaded kegs to serving temperature faster than competing models
- Quick recovery maintains consistent cooling even with frequent door openings
- Wide temperature range (32-59°F) serves ice-cold beer or dispenses wine, cold brew, and kombucha at ideal temperatures
- Forced air system distributes cold air evenly and directs it into the beer tower, keeping lines chilled to the faucet for less foam
The included 14-inch polished stainless steel draft tower stands 2 inches taller than standard towers for extra clearance when filling pitchers and growlers. Every beer contact component is made from 304-grade stainless steel, the same material used in professional brewery equipment.
This NSF-approved tower includes:
- 5 feet of 3/16-inch clear beer tubing
- All stainless steel faucet, shank, and fittings
- Mounting gasket and hardware for secure installation
Built-In Installation Saves Space
Whether you're optimizing a commercial bar layout, designing a new kitchen, or upgrading a basement entertainment area, every square foot counts. The front-venting design allows this kegerator to slide directly into cabinetry, creating a clean, professional look that maximizes usable space.
For freestanding applications in a taproom, garage, or recreation room, a stainless steel guard rail comes included to prevent glasses from sliding off the top. Either way, you get a sleek appearance that works well in any setting.
Flexible Keg Capacity for Every Occasion
One full-size half-barrel keg fits comfortably inside, but the interior adapts to different needs. The spacious cabinet accommodates:
- 1 full-size (half-barrel) keg including Coors and Miller kegs
- 2 quarter-slim kegs for offering variety on tap
- 3 five-gallon kegs perfect for craft selections or homebrewing operations
The interior height of 23.25 inches works with most D and S system kegs. Note that 50L European kegs and some German kegs with M system couplers may not fit with the coupler installed.
Complete Draft System Arrives Ready to Pour
Unlike competitors that require expensive add-ons, this kegerator arrives with the X-CLUSIVE Premium Direct Draw Kit containing everything you need to start pouring right away:
- Kegco Exclusive 14-inch polished stainless steel draft tower with 3-inch diameter and triple faucet configuration. NSF-approved, includes three stainless steel faucets and three 5-foot lengths of 3/16" I.D. clear beer tubing. Mounting gasket and four screws included.
- 5 lb. aluminum CO2 tank made from high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum alloy with glossy Electric Red powder-coated epoxy finish. Service pressure up to 1800 PSI/124 BAR. Stamped with U.S. DOT and Transport Canada markings. CGA-320 approved valve. Average fill dispenses 5-6 kegs.
- Premium double gauge CO2 regulator with three-way air distributor displays both PSI and cylinder gas volume. Features a pressure release valve and large hand control for easy adjustments. Three shut-off valves deliver CO2 to up to three kegs at the same pressure.
- Three 5-foot lengths of 5/16" I.D. blue air line assembly made from Super Vinyl thermoplastic hose that resists rotting, swelling, and drying out. Each includes two reusable plastic snap clamps.
- Three D system lever handle keg couplers with nickel-plated forged brass bodies, compatible with all American Sankey kegs. Each features a 55-psi pressure relief valve.
All dispensing accessories carry UL recognition, meeting safety standards for both commercial and residential use.
Digital Temperature Controls at Your Fingertips
Managing your kegerator takes seconds. The front-mounted digital display lets you:
- Adjust the set temperature precisely
- Toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit
- Turn the interior light on or off
The 32-59°F temperature range offers flexibility for diverse beverage programs. Serve craft lagers at 38°F, ales at 45°F, or configure for wine service at 55°F. Beyond beer, this kegerator handles wine, kombucha, soda, and cold brew coffee, adapting to seasonal menu changes or personal preferences.
The controls remain accessible even in built-in installations, and the standard 115V/60Hz electrical connection at 1.7 running amps allows setup without special wiring requirements.
Professional-Grade Interior and Security Features
Many competing kegerators use plastic liners that stain, crack, and harbor bacteria over time. This unit features a full stainless steel interior that resists corrosion, cleans easily, and maintains a sanitary environment for your kegs. The durable construction handles the demands of daily use while maintaining a professional appearance for years.
Draft beer represents a significant inventory investment. Built-in security features keep your contents protected:
- Locking stainless steel door keeps contents secure during off-hours or from unauthorized access
- Door alarm sounds if left open too long, preventing temperature loss and spoilage
Converts to Cold Storage When You Need It
Not every day calls for a keg on tap. During slower periods, off-seasons, or between events, two adjustable wire shelves (included) transform this kegerator into a standard refrigerator.
Shelf positions adjust in half-inch increments, giving you flexible storage options for:
- Extra beverages and backup stock
- Food prep items and party supplies
- Bottled or canned drinks when kegs aren't in use
This dual-purpose design means you get year-round value from your investment. No need for a separate refrigerator taking up additional space. When you're ready to tap again, simply remove the shelves and load your kegs.
