Guinness Style A & M Type Cleaning Socket – Wall Mounted Beer Line Cleaning

Guinness Style A & M Type Cleaning Socket – Wall Mounted Beer Line Cleaning

The Guinness Style A & M Type Cleaning Socket is a wall mounted beer line cleaning fitting designed for use with compatible A-Type and M-Type keg couplers.

Commonly associated with Guinness-style A-Type couplers, the socket allows the keg coupler to be disconnected from the keg and connected directly to a beer line cleaning circuit. Cleaning solution can then be passed through the product line and associated draught dispense equipment.

Featuring 3/8" push-fit side connections, a 30% glass-reinforced nylon body and three-point wall mounting, this cleaning socket is designed for professional use in pubs, bars, breweries and cellar installations.

A & M Type Beer Line Cleaning Socket

This wall mounted cleaning socket is compatible with suitable A-Type and M-Type keg couplers, making it a useful option for cellar cleaning systems where these coupler connections are used.

During beer line cleaning, the keg coupler remains connected to the product pipework and is transferred from the keg to the cleaning socket.

This provides a permanent and accessible cleaning point without needing to disconnect the beer pipe from the keg coupler.

Guinness Style A-Type Connection

The A-Type keg coupler is commonly used with Guinness and a number of other draught products.

This cleaning socket provides a compatible cleaning connection for suitable A-Type couplers, allowing the existing keg coupler and beer line to form part of the cleaning circuit.

Always check the actual keg valve and coupler type rather than relying solely on the beverage brand, as keg connection types can vary.

M-Type Keg Coupler Compatibility

The same cleaning socket is also designed for compatible M-Type keg couplers.

This dual A & M Type compatibility can reduce the number of different cleaning socket types required in cellars using both coupler systems.

3/8" Push-Fit Side Connections

The socket features 3/8" push-fit side connections for integration into compatible beer line cleaning pipework.

This allows standard 3/8" drinks dispense tubing to be connected as part of a permanent cellar cleaning installation.

Glass-Reinforced Nylon Construction

The cleaning socket body is manufactured from 30% glass-reinforced nylon, providing a strong and durable construction suitable for regular professional use.

The material provides resistance to compatible beer line cleaning chemicals when used at the correct concentration and according to the chemical manufacturer's instructions.

Three-Point Wall Mounting

Three screw holes allow the cleaning socket to be securely installed onto a suitable wall, cleaning board or other fixed surface.

The three-point fixing arrangement provides a stable mounting and can help accommodate surfaces that are not completely even.

Antimicrobial Seal

The socket incorporates a thermoplastic elastomer seal with an antimicrobial additive incorporated into the material.

Because the additive forms part of the seal material rather than being applied as a surface coating, it remains incorporated throughout normal use.

This does not replace routine beer line cleaning or normal hygiene procedures.

How to Use

During routine beer line cleaning:

1. Disconnect the compatible A-Type or M-Type keg coupler from the keg.
2. Connect the coupler to the wall mounted cleaning socket.
3. Operate the beer line cleaning system according to the normal procedure.
4. Pass correctly diluted beer line cleaning solution through the product line.
5. Follow the chemical manufacturer's recommended contact time.
6. Thoroughly rinse the complete system with clean water before reconnecting the keg.
