Lindr Compensator Beer Tap Chrome 5/8 BSP thread connection, 65mm length — 7mm Flow Faucet with Side Regulator

Price: €46,50

The Lindr Compensator Beer Tap is a professional-grade chrome draught faucet engineered for homebrewers and home bar enthusiasts who want a clean, controlled, foam-free pour from every glass. Manufactured by Lindr — the Czech specialist behind some of the most respected draught dispensing equipment in the European homebrew and hospitality market — this compensator tap combines a classic chrome aesthetic with a practical side-mounted flow regulator that gives the operator direct, real-time control over pour speed and foam production at the tap itself.

What sets a compensator faucet apart from a standard draught tap is its built-in flow restriction mechanism. A standard tap delivers beer at whatever speed the CO₂ pressure and beer line length dictate — and in a home keezer or kegerator setup, that balance is rarely perfect for every keg, every carbonation level, or every ambient temperature. The compensator's side regulator allows the brewer to dial back the flow rate at the tap independently of system pressure, producing the clear, steady beer stream and controlled foam head that a well-poured draught deserves — without having to readjust the CO₂ regulator every time conditions change. This is particularly valuable in multi-keg setups where different styles require different serving pressures but share a single gas supply.

The 7mm inner diameter outlet delivers a smooth, full-volume flow suited to standard draught serving volumes, while the 5/8 BSP thread connection at 65mm length fits standard shank and tower fittings with the included nut and sealing rings — a complete, ready-to-install package straight out of the box. The 3/8-inch thread on the handle fitting is the standard specification for compatible tap wrench tools.

For optimal daily maintenance, a tap brush and bellows are recommended for regular cleaning of the faucet body and spout. A rinse adapter for the compensator passage allows thorough sponge cleaning of the internal flow path — both available separately. A tap wrench is recommended for installation and removal.

Key Features

  • Side-mounted flow regulator — adjusts pour speed independently of system CO₂ pressure
  • 7mm inner diameter outlet — smooth, full-volume draught flow
  • 5/8 BSP thread connection, 65mm length — fits standard shank and tower fittings
  • Complete installation kit — supplied with nut and sealing rings
  • Chrome finish — clean, professional aesthetic for home bar and keezer builds
  • 3/8-inch handle thread — compatible with standard tap wrench tools

Usage

Best suited for: Home bar draught dispensing, keezer and kegerator builds, multi-keg setups where individual pour speed control is needed, any setup where foam production is a persistent issue

Compatible with: Standard 5/8 BSP shanks and tower fittings, ball lock and pin lock keg systems, CO₂ and mixed gas dispensing setups

Recommended accessories: Rinse adapter for compensator passage cleaning, tap wrench for installation and removal, tap brush and bellows for daily maintenance — all available separately.

Note: Compensator taps manage flow speed at the faucet, but persistent foaming is most commonly caused by incorrect equilibrium pressure — the balance between CO₂ pressure and beer temperature. Ensure your serving pressure and chiller temperature are correctly matched before adjusting the compensator.
