DMfit 5/16" x 3/16" Stem Reducer – Push-Fit Beer Line Adaptor – 10 Pack

DMfit 5/16" x 3/16" Stem Reducer – Push-Fit Beer Line Adaptor – 10 Pack

The DMfit 5/16" x 3/16" Stem Reducer is a compact push-fit adaptor designed for connecting 5/16" product pipe to 3/16" beer reducer line. Ideal for professional draught beer and beverage dispense systems, it provides a straightforward way to transition between these two commonly used beer line sizes.

The fitting is particularly useful where 3/16" reducer pipe is introduced closer to the dispense point to provide additional line resistance and help control beer flow.

Supplied as a pack of 10 DMfit Stem Reducers.

5/16" to 3/16" Beer Line Reducer

Draught beer systems often use different pipe diameters through different sections of the installation.

5/16" beer pipe can be used for product transfer through the system, while smaller 3/16" beer reducer pipe is commonly used where additional line resistance is required before the beer reaches the tap.

The DMfit 5/16" x 3/16" Stem Reducer provides a compact connection between these two pipe sizes.

Using 3/16" Beer Reducer Pipe

The smaller internal diameter of 3/16" beer line creates greater resistance than larger-bore product pipe.

For this reason, 3/16" pipe is commonly used within draught beer installations where additional resistance is needed to balance the dispense system and control the flow of beer at the tap.

The amount of 3/16" reducer line required will depend on the individual system, including product pressure, temperature, line length, height and required flow rate.

Connections

• Size 2: 3/16"
• Type: Stem Reducer
• Connection: Push Fit

Installation

Ensure the beer pipe is cut cleanly and square before inserting it fully into the appropriate push-fit connection.

When using 3/16" reducer pipe to balance a draught beer system, the required length should be selected according to the resistance and flow requirements of the installation.

Always check that the fitting, pipe material, operating pressure, temperature and product are suitable for the intended application.
