I have a problem with one of the lines of a 4 product tower where the beer is coming out really slow. It takes 5 min to fill a pitcher. None of the other lines have this problem, only this one. They have had 2 places look at it beside myself, and they could not figure it out.
System:
4 prodcut tower
Glycol cooled 20-30ft
5ft 3/8" ID Beer line
20-30 ft 5/16" ID (i think) Beer line
Pressure @ 20psi for all products (no foaming on any product)
Main gas supply @ 40psi
Tried:
Changing keg/product
Changing the coupler (no coupler problem)
Changing the faucet (no faucet problem)
Cleaning the lines (slow, but tried a few times)
Checking the connection bet the 3/8" line & vinyl 5/16"
Increasing/decreaseing the pressure
-when I increase the pressure @ 30psi the flow increases a little (not enought to pour it at regular speed, still very slow) but the beer comes out in all foam
-slower when I decrease pressure.
One company just gave up, and the other (i think the guy doesn't know what he is doing and wants to make a buck - didn't know what a coupler was) wants to take apart the tower.
I have not idea what to do - there is 2 more lines from the 6product trunk line so if there is a problem somewhere in the vinyl line it is possible to change it. I haven't done this because its almost impossible to get to and not sure if it is going to be worth it.
Sorry for the long post. Any ideas?
