What is This???

I bought a Kegerator and this little thing came with it. Does anyone know what it is and what it is used for?

Looks like an electric heating element to me. What do the connections look like on the bottom?

looks like a cut wire cloths hanger with a wire nut.

I agree. It's some type of bent wire loop with a wire nut on the end. Might have been used to fish beer lines through a panel or in a tower; something like that. I would toss it into the miscellaneous drawer with all the other thingys, unidentified widgets etc. You do have a miscellaneous drawer, don't you? IOW, file it!

It's a short circuit!

There are no connections, I think it is part of the cleaning kit

It's used to hold open your sankey (beer tap) for cleaning the lines from the top down. You fill the line (from the faucet) with cleaning solution, let it sit, then put that in the tap to hold the ball open so that you can drain the cleaning solution.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. I will try this next time I clean my lines.
