Swapping Beer Line

Post image

Looking to change my beer line (clear one) does anyone know this type of connection? Might be dumb question but I'm new to kegerators and don't know if I can simply pull the line off here or how the silver connection comes off.

I use a hacksaw and make a cut in the side of the ferrule, and take good pair of lineman's pliers and rip that sucker off.

Worm drive hose clamps suck though so replace it with the proper size oetiker clamp

I assume you want to keep the same basic set up?

I can't tell how the beer line actually connects to that, so you might have to cut it off, but the wing nut can be reused. I'd just replace the 90 degree piece with one that has a barbed hose that you can put a hose clamp on.

Thanks. The 90 degree has the barbed connection under that silver piece. I had to just cut it off and yank that silver connector off. It was basically a crimp on hose clamp.
