Pressure Gauges for Draft Beer Bar Applications

In modern bars, pubs and restaurants, the pressurized wine dispensing system is an extremely important component. Behind every smooth pour at the bar counter lies a pressurized dispensing system that delivers beer from kegs to taps using COâ‚‚ or mixed gas. Because these systems rely on pressure to operate, monitoring and controlling that pressure is essential.
Most draft beer counters use pressurized taps or push-type dispensing nozzles. During operation, internal pressure can rise significantly, especially during peak service hours when taps are used frequently. Without proper pressure monitoring, excessive pressure may lead to unstable beer flow, excessive foam, wasted product, or even damage to hoses and connectors. A compact, bottom-connection pressure gauge installed on the beer line or regulator allows staff to clearly see the real-time system pressure at a glance. A clearly marked dial displaying bar, psi, or kPa helps technicians and bar staff quickly confirm whether the system is operating within the recommended pressure range. This ensures a consistent pour, better beer taste, and reduced foam loss.
If a draft beer system operates without a pressure gauge, pressure buildup may go unnoticed. Over-pressurization can cause hose leaks, fitting failures, or sudden pressure release, which can pose safety risks to staff working behind the bar. In extreme cases, it may also damage regulators or beer kegs, leading to costly repairs and downtime. A pressure gauge acts as an early warning tool, helping prevent these issues before they escalate.
As a professional manufacturer of pressure gauges, Shanghai QualityWell specializes in producing reliable and economic pressure gauges suitable for a wide range of applications, including beverage dispensing systems. Our pressure gauges are designed with clear dials, stable performance, and practical construction, making them well suited for bar counters, draft beer systems, and other low-to-medium pressure environments. While compact and economical, they play a vital role in ensuring safety, efficiency, and consistent results.
