Cleaning Instructions

General Information

The cleaning of beer lines with the new inte- gral 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 Beer Lines using Smart Couplers

Disconnect Smart Coupler from beer connector lines and soak Smart Couplers in cleaning solution.

Couple the two beer connectors together using Perlick’s double male adapter part # 186 with beer washers.

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 circulated from the faucet, to the tap.

Remove the faucet from the line to which the Beer Line Cleaner pump will be connected. Soak faucets and brush clean before reinstalling.

Connect Beer Line Cleaner pump to the shank.

Follow standard beer line cleaning procedures. Perlick recommends that the lines first be flushed with clean warm water (Water temperature not to exceed 100 degrees). Mix line-cleaning solution per manufacturerís directions.

Circulate the solution thoroughly (Time for circulation dependent on 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 and reinstall beer faucets.

Reconnect couplers to beer connector lines 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.

When a beer system with beer pumps will be shut down for an extended period, clean the system thoroughly. After completing the rins- ing 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.
