Keg connector for fluidly connecting the interior of a bag-in-container type of keg with a dispensing tube connected to a dispensing valve in a tapping column, and with a pressure gas tube connected to a source of pressurized gas, said keg connector comprising a base body (1 a) and further comprising the following elements: (a) Coupling means for firmly and releasibly coupling the keg connector to the neck of a keg or to the closure of said keg, for which the connector is designed; (b) A dispense connector provided at a first end thereof with a substantially straight dispense tip extending along a longitudinal axis and said dispense tip being in fluid communication with a second end of the dispense connector connected or connectable to the dispense tube in fluid communication with the tapping column and the valve, (c) Aa gas connector provided at a first end thereof with a substantially straight gas tip extending along a longitudinal axis and physically separate from the dispense tip, said gas tip being in fluid communication with a second end of the gas connector connected to the gas tube connectable to the source of pressurized gas, (d) Coupling actuating means for reversibly bringing the coupling means from an uncoupled to a coupled position, in which the keg connector is firmly coupled to the keg neck or keg closure, with the dispense tip and gas tip facing corresponding dispense opening and gas opening provided on said keg closure, (e) Penetration actuating means for simultaneously and reversibly moving by a given distance along a longitudinal direction, Z, the dispense tip and gas tip from a first retracted position, Z0, to a second connected position, Z2, wherein said distance is sufficient for the dispense tip and gas tip to penetrate into the corresponding dispense opening and gas opening provided on the keg closure, Characterized in that, coupling and penetration actuating means are a single actuating means suitable for sequentially driving in a single movement: • in a first step, firm coupling of the keg connector to the keg neck or keg closure followed, • in a second step, by the penetration of the dispense tip and gas tip into the corresponding dispense and gas openings (44, 66). (a) Coupling means for firmly and releasibly coupling the keg connector to the neck of a keg or to the closure of said keg, for which the connector is designed; (b) A dispense connector provided at a first end thereof with a substantially straight dispense tip extending along a longitudinal axis and said dispense tip being in fluid communication with a second end of the dispense connector connected or connectable to the dispense tube in fluid communication with the tapping column and the valve, (c) Aa gas connector provided at a first end thereof with a substantially straight gas tip extending along a longitudinal axis and physically separate from the dispense tip, said gas tip being in fluid communication with a second end of the gas connector connected to the gas tube connectable to the source of pressurized gas, (d) Coupling actuating means for reversibly bringing the coupling means from an uncoupled to a coupled position, in which the keg connector is firmly coupled to the keg neck or keg closure, with the dispense tip and gas tip facing corresponding dispense opening and gas opening provided on said keg closure, (e) Penetration actuating means for simultaneously and reversibly moving by a given distance along a longitudinal direction, Z, the dispense tip and gas tip from a first retracted position, Z0, to a second connected position, Z2, wherein said distance is sufficient for the dispense tip and gas tip to penetrate into the corresponding dispense opening and gas opening provided on the keg closure, • in a first step, firm coupling of the keg connector to the keg neck or keg closure followed, • in a second step, by the penetration of the dispense tip and gas tip into the corresponding dispense and gas openings (44, 66).
