REPLACEMENT KEG SPEARS
As you may know, kegs come with different spears fit for different couplers, the most common one being the D-type (aka American Sankey). We have D-type keg spears of all popular common lengths available in stock and ready for order 24/7. If a custom length is required,we can quickly cut and provide from Mississauga, ON or Surrey, BC.
As for the spears for kegs of other systems (A-type, G-type, M-type and S-type, all of which are typical to European beers), these are available by special order.
KEG SPEAR TOOLS AND PARTS
Whatever you may need to service your keg spears, we have got it : spear removal tools, spear installation tools, spear assembly/disassembly tools, and training! Tools and parts for replacing D-type spears are available for instant order from our counterparts from the Micro Matic keg valve technical team along with necessary training.
If you’re looking for parts for European keg spears (A, G, M, and S systems), they are available by special order and may take a bit longer to ship.
When you order keg spear parts and tools from UBC Group Canada and Micro Matic , you always get the best quality, affordable pricing, and top-notch customer service. We handle every order with great care and attention, making sure you get the right tools and parts for the job.
