Perlick’s Home Beer Dispensers are simple to set up
because they are complete, self-contained beer systems.
Additionally, no plumbing is required because the units use
a portable drainer. Below are the steps to install the cabinet
and dispensing equipment, as well as how to connect your
CO
2
tank properly.
INSTALLING THE DISPENSING EQUIPMENT
To assure maximum performance, fresh air must be allowed to circulate
through the machinery compartment. Do not place anything in front of the
cabinet that would obstruct airow at these grilles. Do not place the unit in a
small, unventilated room.
1. Install BLACK beer line (see diagram on following page) over faucet
lead and clamp.
2. Apply silicone around the base of the dispensing head to seal it to the
top. Align the dispensing head over the mounting holes on the cabinet
top and secure using screws. Wipe o excess silicone to complete the
seal.
3. Attach faucet to dispensing head using spanner wrench to tighten
coupling. Attach faucet handle to the faucet.
4. Install air distributor (if applicable).
5. Install chain to restrain CO
2
cylinder.
6. Install BLACK beer line over coupler barb and clamp.
7. Install other end of RED air line to distributor inlet or coupler inlet and
clamp.
