Pour Ice-Cold Draft Beer Straight From Your Cabinetry With The HK38SSU-1

Whether you're outfitting a commercial bar or upgrading your home setup, most kegerators take up valuable floor space and disrupt your design. The Kegco HK38SSU-1 offers a professional solution with a front-venting design that integrates directly into your cabinetry for a polished, built-in appearance. All-stainless steel construction inside and out delivers the durability and sanitation standards you need, without the cheap plastic liners found in lower-grade units.

  • Built-in ready: Front-venting design fits flush into cabinetry
  • All-stainless steel: Interior and exterior built to last
  • Wide temperature range: 32°F to 59°F for beer, wine, cold brew, or kombucha
  • Powerful cooling: 3,200 BTU commercial-grade compressor with fast recovery
  • Foam-free pours: Air-cooled tower keeps lines cold to the faucet
  • Flexible storage: Holds 1 full-size keg, 2 quarter slims, or 3 five-gallon kegs
  • Converts to fridge: 2 adjustable shelves included
  • Complete kit: CO₂ tank, regulator, coupler, and lines included
  • Outdoor approved: Rated for ambient temps up to 100°F
  • Secure: Keyed door lock and door alarm

The HK38SSU-1 Air-Cooled Tower Eliminates Foam Problems

HK38SSU-1 Air Cooled Tower Features and Benefits Infographics

Warm beer lines waste product and frustrate customers. This kegerator uses forced air refrigeration that pushes cold air directly into the beer tower. The result? Lines stay chilled all the way to the faucet, delivering a smooth pour with minimal foam on every glass.

The included 14-inch polished stainless steel tower stands two inches taller than standard models, providing extra clearance for pint glasses and mugs. All beer-contact components, including the faucet, shank, and fittings, are made from 304-grade stainless steel for straightforward cleaning and long-term sanitation compliance.


Fit the Kegs You Need, From Half-Barrels to Homebrew

Kegco HK38SSU-1 Built-In Kegerator Keg Capacity Configuration Illustration

The spacious interior accommodates several keg configurations to match your dispensing needs. Whether you're running a single-tap setup or want to serve multiple beverages, this unit adapts to your requirements.

  • 1 full-size (1/2 barrel) keg: Fits most major domestic brands, including Coors and Miller. A half-barrel keg holds approximately 165 twelve-ounce servings, making it the go-to choice for high-volume settings or large gatherings.
  • 2 quarter-slim kegs: Run two different beers, ciders, or other beverages at once. Quarter-slim kegs each hold about 82 servings, giving you variety without sacrificing capacity.
  • 3 five-gallon kegs: Perfect for homebrewers using Cornelius (corny) kegs or commercial operators dispensing craft batches. Five-gallon kegs offer roughly 53 servings each and allow you to rotate through multiple recipes or seasonal offerings.

Note: The interior height measures 23.25 inches with the coupler installed. Taller European kegs, including 50L kegs, will not fit in this unit. Verify your keg dimensions before purchasing.


Convert to a Full-Size Refrigerator Between Events

HK38SSU-1 Kegerator to Refrigerator Conversion Preview Image

When keg dispensing takes a break, this unit pulls double duty as a refrigerator. Remove the dispensing hardware and install the two adjustable wire shelves included with your purchase. The shelves adjust in half-inch increments, so you can configure the interior to hold bottles, cans, food prep items, or anything else that requires cold storage.

This conversion takes just minutes. Disconnect the keg coupler, remove the CO₂ tank and lines, and slide the shelves into place. When the next event comes around, reverse the process and you're back to pouring draft beer. Your investment stays productive year-round, whether you're hosting a party, running a seasonal bar, or simply storing overflow from your main refrigerator.


Everything You Need to Start Pouring

Kegco HK38SSU-1 Built-In Kegerator Premium Dispensing Components

This kegerator arrives ready to tap right out of the box. Your package includes:

  • 14-inch polished stainless steel draft tower with 3-inch diameter, standing 2 inches taller than standard towers for extra glass clearance. NSF-approved tower includes 5 feet of 3/16" clear beer tubing. The faucet, shank, and all fittings are 304-grade stainless steel. Tower mounts using the included gasket and four screws.
  • 5 lb. aluminum CO2 tank with electric red epoxy finish. Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy 6061-T6 for superior corrosion resistance. Features a glossy powder-coated finish for added protection against wear. Service pressure rated up to 1,800 PSI with test pressure of 3,000 PSI. Stamped with required U.S. DOT and Transport Canada markings. Fitted with CGA-approved 320 valve with male thread. Average fill lasts 5 to 6 kegs.

  • D-system lever handle keg coupler for tapping all American Sankey kegs. Commercial-grade construction with 55-PSI pressure relief valve and nickel-plated forged brass body. Simple operation by pulling out and down on the lever handle.
  • 5 feet of 5/16" blue air line made from thermoplastic vinyl hose that resists rot, swelling, and drying. Unaffected by normal cleaning compounds. Comes with two reusable plastic snap clamps.

All dispense accessories are UL-recognized components.


Durable Construction for Indoor and Outdoor Installations

HK38SSU-1 Outdoor Bar Installation Preview Image

Planning an outdoor bar or patio installation? The all-stainless steel exterior handles the elements, and the front-venting design means you can build it into your outdoor kitchen or BBQ island without overheating concerns. Maximum ambient temperature rating is 100°F.

The stainless steel interior resists corrosion and odor absorption while making cleanup simple. Unlike units with plastic liners that can crack or retain smells, this all-metal construction maintains sanitary conditions and stands up to repeated cleanings with commercial-grade solutions.

A keyed door lock protects your inventory from unauthorized access. The built-in door alarm sounds when the door stays open too long, preventing product loss from accidentally warm kegs. The unit also includes a stainless steel guard rail to prevent glasses and mugs from sliding off the top when used freestanding, plus casters for easy repositioning.


Precise Temperature Control for Multiple Beverage Types

HK38SSU-1 Digital Temperature Control and Display Photo

The 32°F to 59°F temperature range gives you the flexibility to serve different beverages at their ideal temperatures. Pour craft lagers at 38°F, ales at 45°F, or switch to wine service at 55°F. The digital front-panel controls stay accessible even when the unit is built into cabinetry, letting you adjust settings without pulling the kegerator out.

This temperature versatility supports multiple beverage applications including beer, wine, kombucha, soda, and cold brew coffee. Adapt to changing customer preferences or seasonal menu updates without needing separate refrigeration equipment. The front-mounted display lets you:

  • Adjust temperature between 32°F and 59°F
  • Toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit
  • Turn the interior light on or off

Installation is straightforward with a standard 115V/60Hz electrical connection that draws just 1.7 running amps. No special wiring or electrical upgrades required. Simply plug into any standard home or commercial outlet.
