The Kegco Z163 Pours Everything — Beer, Wine, Soda, Kombucha — and Chills It All on Demand
A full commercial draft system with 5.8 cu. ft. of space and the flexibility to handle whatever you're pouring.
The Z163 arrives ready to pour. Open the box and you've got a commercial-grade dual-gauge regulator (built to run two beverages at once), a 5 lb. CO₂ tank, a D-coupler, and a stainless steel tower that supports one or two faucets — everything installed, nothing to source separately. Fan-forced cooling holds the temperature anywhere from 32°F to 75°F with digital precision, so lagers stay ice-cold and craft ales get the cellar temp they deserve. The 5.8 cu. ft. interior fits a full-size, pony, slim quarter, two sixths, or multiple homebrew kegs, and the reversible black door means it slots into either side of your setup without a fight. Not pouring this season? Drop in the three included wire shelves and it becomes a full beverage fridge, no tools required.

Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take›
The Z163 is a good fit for anyone who wants a full-size kegerator that doesn't ask much of you. The complete draft kit is in the box, the digital controls are straightforward, and the 5.8 cu. ft. interior handles the keg sizes most people actually buy. It's also genuinely useful as a backup fridge when the kegs are gone — that's a real perk for seasonal entertainers.
The dual-faucet-ready tower is worth paying attention to. If you're planning to run two different beers — or a beer and a soda on CO₂ — the Z163 supports that out of the box on the regulator side. Most kegerators at this size don't. You may need an additional faucet depending on your setup, but the tower accommodates it.
Where it won't work: this is a freestanding, rear-venting unit. If you're planning a cabinetry install or undercounter built-in, don't force it — the ventilation requirement is real. And if energy draw matters (it's rated at 2.3A vs. lighter-duty units), confirm your outlet situation before it arrives.
- Home entertainers who host frequently and want a full-size freestanding kegerator ready to pour from day one
- Home brewers running ball lock or pin lock kegs who want an all-in-one dispense system
- Anyone serving two different beverages who needs a 2-product regulator and dual-faucet-capable tower
- Bar or restaurant setups needing a reliable digital kegerator with commercial-grade components
- Off-season use: swap out the keg, drop in the shelves, and it becomes a full beverage fridge

Frequently Asked Questions›
What keg sizes does the Kegco Z163 hold? ›
The Z163 fits 1 full-size, 1 pony, 1 slim 1/4, 2 sixth-barrel, 3 ball lock, or 2 pin lock kegs. The 5.8 cu. ft. interior is one of the more accommodating sizes in this footprint.
Does the Z163 support two faucets? ›
Yes. The stainless steel tower is rated for 1–2 faucets, and the included commercial-grade dual-gauge regulator is a 2-product model, meaning it's already built to handle two separate lines. A second faucet is not included but the tower accommodates one.
What beverages can the Z163 dispense — is it only for beer? ›
No — the Z163 can dispense beer, wine, soda, or kombucha. As long as the beverage is kegged and compatible with CO₂ dispensing, it works.
Is the CO₂ tank included, and does it arrive filled? ›
Yes, a 5 lb. aluminum CO₂ tank with a CGA-320 valve is included. The tank arrives empty and needs to be filled before first use — local homebrew shops, welding suppliers, and fire extinguisher service centers all offer fills.
Can the Z163 be installed as a built-in or undercounter unit? ›
No. The Z163 is freestanding only with rear ventilation. It cannot be enclosed in cabinetry or installed undercounter without proper clearance around the unit.
What temperature range does the Z163 maintain? ›
The digital thermostat controls temperature from 32°F to 75°F, covering the full spectrum from ice-cold lagers to warmer serving temps for ales, wines, and kombucha.
Can the door be reversed? ›
Yes. The black door is field reversible, so you can configure the hinge on whichever side works for your space.
Can I use the Z163 as a regular beverage fridge when I'm not using a keg? ›
Yes. Three wire shelves are included and convert the interior into a full beverage fridge. It's a practical option for off-season storage or anytime you need extra cold capacity.
What electrical requirements does the Z163 have? ›
The Z163 runs on a standard 115V / 60Hz circuit and draws 2.3A. A standard household outlet is sufficient — no dedicated circuit is required.
What are the dimensions of the Kegco Z163? ›
The Z163 measures 35" H × 24" W × 24.25" D and weighs 125 lbs. Confirm clearance on all sides and at the rear before placing the unit.
What is the warranty on the Kegco Z163? ›
The Z163 is covered by Kegco's manufacturer warranty: 1 year parts and labor, plus 5 years on the compressor (parts only). Warranty is honored directly by Kegco.
Is the Z163 suitable for commercial or bar use? ›
Yes. The source describes the Z163 as engineered for both home and commercial use. The commercial-grade dual-gauge 2-product regulator and stainless steel draft components are built to handle regular service — not just occasional home use.
