1. Outlet tubing from the pump to the dispenser should be high pressure rated and NSF listed.
Consult "Pumping Capability" for appropriate tubing I.D.

Note: When converting a transfer tank system to a BIB system, always install new tubing
and clean regulators on the CO
3. Inlet tubing- from the BIB to the pump. Use 10 mm I.D. (3/8"), heavy wall [3 mm (1/8")]
clear, NSF listed vacuum tubing. Maximum tubing length is 3 m. (10 ft.), with no more than
a 1.5 m. (5 ft) vertical lift.
4. Service Loop- Always cut CO
required to provide a "service loop." This allows the BIB rack to be moved for cleaning or
service.

clamps.
6. Cable-tie all tubing securely- This prevents kinks or sags, which can inhibit performance or
damage the pump fittings.
Notes: Never connect a transfer tank system in series with a BIB system. Syrup contaminants
that remain in old components can work their way through the air supply, causing premature
failure of the gas pump.
The gas used to drive the pump must contain no contaminants (syrup, oil, rust, etc.).
Air compressors can be used with proper particle filters and moisture separators.
Air storage tanks should be drained regularly.
Pumps subjected to contaminated air are not covered by warranty
