3/16" Clear Beer Line – Draught Beer Reducer & Product Pipe – 100m Roll

3/16" Clear Beer Line – Draught Beer Reducer & Product Pipe – 100m Roll

This 3/16" Clear Beer Line is professional product tubing designed for draught beer and beverage dispense systems. The smaller bore makes it particularly suitable for use as beer reducer line, where additional line resistance is required to help control the flow rate at the tap.

Supplied as a 100 metre roll, the clear PE Ultra tubing has a 3/16" outside diameter and approximately 0.117" inside diameter.

The clear construction also allows the product inside the pipe to be visually inspected during dispense, cleaning and maintenance.

3/16" Beer Reducer Line

3/16" beer line is commonly used within draught systems where the smaller internal bore is required to provide additional resistance between the keg, cooler, flow controller and dispense tap.

Correctly specified reducer line can help balance the relationship between:

• Keg pressure
• Beer line resistance
• Product temperature
• Flow controller setting
• Tap flow rate

The correct length of 3/16" line will vary depending on the individual dispense system and should be selected according to the required resistance and operating pressure.

Beer Line Flow Control

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

For this reason, it is commonly incorporated into draught beer systems to help control the speed at which beer reaches the tap.

Typical installations may use 3/16" reducer line:

• Between a flow controller and beer font
• Between a flow controller and dispense tap
• Within balanced beer line installations
• Where additional product line resistance is required

It can be connected to larger product pipe using the appropriate reducing fittings or stem adaptors.

Clear Product Pipe

The clear construction allows the contents of the beer line to remain visible.

This can help during installation, dispense and beer line cleaning by making it easier to identify:

• Product within the line
• Air or gas pockets
• Empty sections of pipe
• Product and rinse water during cleaning
• Visible contamination requiring further investigation

Suitable For

This 3/16" clear beer reducer pipe is suitable for compatible systems in:

• Pubs and bars
• Breweries and taprooms
• Restaurants
• Cellar installations
• Mobile bars
• Event bars
• Beer festivals
• Draught beer systems
• Professional drinks dispense installations

100 Metre Roll

Supplied as one complete 100 metre roll, making it suitable for new draught installations, cellar refits, repairs and professional drinks dispense engineers carrying beer line stock for multiple jobs.

Important

The 3/16" measurement refers to the outside diameter of the tubing.

The length of reducer line required will vary according to keg pressure, temperature, equipment and the overall dispense system. Adding excessive restriction can result in an unnecessarily slow pour, while insufficient resistance can result in excessive flow.

Always balance the complete draught system rather than relying on pipe diameter alone.
