    Default Looking for help cleaning split beer lines...

    I am looking for some advice and technique for cleaning lines that are split in two, with each one running to a separate faucet. I will be using a pressure cleaner and there are ten total faucets on two towers and five kegs. Can anyone advice?

    Thanks in advance.

    Were are the lines split - in the cooler at the kegs or downstream from the cooler?

    The lines split in the cooler within about 5-6 feet of the kegs. In one case there is a small plastice box device where the keg line goes in and the two lines come out. In another case the lines are just split with a three-way fitting.

    I Have couple accounts like this, Iput a y with shut offs on pressure side then line an elbows to facuet ends. Series flusher with ball lifter and line back to where i'm set up . After beer is out of line add chemicals and flush the line. Allot of work but does the job. In one account I add a line that staied in place. Hope you get paid well.

    Are the lines cleaned with pressure pots or circulating pumps?

    The lines will be cleaned with a pressure pump.

    Do you clean lines for a living? I work for a draft company In Atlanta and the cleaning pumps haven't picked up in this market; sounds like a @#%$@ job using pumps to clean with
