Beer pump lIne cleanIng InStructIonS
turn off tHe preSSure regulator
To clean the beer lines in a Glastender beer pump style
beer system, start by turning off the pressure to the keg
for the beer line you want to clean (figure 1). Follow
the red air line to the keg to verify that you are shutting
off the proper regulator.
dISconnect tHe Beer lIne from tHe tap
Remove the keg tap from the keg. Disconnect the clear
beer line from the keg tap by loosening the appropriate
beer nut (gure 2). Be careful not to lose the rubber
washer inside the nut.
clean tHe Keg tap
The keg tap should be cleaned by soaking it in a
mixture of beer line cleaning detergent and hot water.
Use a brush if required. Remember to rinse with clear
water when nished.
clean tHe Beer lIne
Place the beer line into a bucket containing a mixture
of beer line cleaning detergent and hot water (gure
3). Pull the corresponding faucet handle on the beer
tower to get the detergent solution to ow through the
line. Once the cleaning solution is coming out of the
beer faucet, shut the faucet and let the solution soak
for 10 minutes. After the 10 minute soaking period is
nished, open the faucet and let the remainder of the
cleaning solution ow through the line.
The more solution you use the better the result (i.e., us-
ing a 10 gallon bucket is better than a 5 gallon bucket).
You may want to attach a piece of hose to the faucet
to capture the cleaning solution in a bucket to reduce
splashing at the beer tower.
rInSe tHe Beer lIne and reaSSemBle
After the cleaning solution has owed through the line,
rinse the line out by repeating the process using a dif-
ferent bucket of clear water to ush the line. Reassem-
ble the beer line and repeat the cleaning process for the
other beer lines.
