Cleaning Instructions

General Information

■The cleaning of beer lines with the new integral flow reversal feature incorporated into the Perlick Beer Pump gives the line cleaner numerous configurations for line cleaning. Although the Perlick Beer Pump can be used as an in-line pump for moving the solution from the coupler to the faucet due to its capability of working with negative lift, the following is the recommended method for cleaning beer lines with the Perlick Beer Pump with integral flow reversal installed.

Cleaning from the Tap/Faucet End

■Disconnect Perlick Smart Couplers from the kegs following Smart Coupler instructions.

■Couple the two Smart Couplers together using Dual Cleaning Adapters (43681) which have a pin of sufficient length to lift the internal slide within the Smart Coupler to allow proper flow.

■Determine which sets of lines will be cleaned together and rotate the Dispense/Reverse Flow handle to the Reverse Flow position on the line which fluid will be pushed back from the Tap/Faucet.

■Rotate the Smart Coupler Valve Handle to the Clean position on both couplers (See Smart Coupler Instructions).

■Relieve the line pressure by opening the faucets.

■Remove the faucet from the line, which will have the Beer Line Cleaner pump connected to it.

■Connect Beer Line Cleaner pump to the shank.

■Follow standard line cleaning procedures. Perlick recommendes that the lines first be flushed with clean warm water (Water tempera- ture not to exceed 100°F). Mix line-cleaning solution per the manufacturer’s directions. Circulate the solution thoroughly (Time for circulation dependent on the length of the system and pump capabilities). Rinse the lines using clean cold water (Ensure all line cleaning solution has been removed from the lines to prevent hazardous results).

■Disconnect line-cleaning pump.

■Remove and clean taps and couplers.

■Reconnect taps and couplers and return Beer Pump Dispense/Reverse Flow valve to the Dispense position.

■Reconnect couplers to keg and open dispensing head faucets until clear beer flows.

Winterizing Systems with Beer Pumps

■When a beer system with beer pumps will be shut down for an extended period, clean the system thoroughly. After completing the rinsing step, prepare a mixture of 50% food grade Glycerine and 50% water. Load the lines with this mixture and make sure both ends of the system are closed. Glycerine/water mixture should remain in the lines for the duration of the shutdown period.
