Frequently Asked Questions - GB4 Perlick
How do I install the Perlick GB4 pump?
Ensure the pump is mounted vertically with the motor end up. Connect the inlet and outlet lines to 1/4" FPT fittings. Prime the pump by filling with liquid before starting. Check for proper electrical connection (115 V AC).
How do I clean the pump?
Disconnect power and lines. Flush the pump with warm water or a non-caustic beer line cleaner. Disassemble the pump head (unscrew the four bolts) to access the impeller for thorough cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the seals.
What liquid can I use with this pump?
The Perlick GB4 is designed for glycol coolant or beer. It can handle other food-grade liquids with low viscosity, but not recommended for abrasive or corrosive fluids.
What is the maximum flow rate?
The maximum flow rate is approximately 2.5 GPM (9.5 L/min) at no head pressure. Actual flow will vary based on system resistance and head height.
Why is my pump not priming?
Ensure the pump is primed before starting; it cannot run dry. Check that the inlet line is submerged in liquid and there are no air leaks in the fittings. If the pump has run dry, it may damage the impeller.
How do I maintain the pump?
Regularly clean the pump and inspect seals for wear. Lubrication is not required. Store in a dry place when not in use. Replace the impeller if cracked or worn.
Can the pump run continuously?
Yes, the GB4 is designed for continuous duty in kegerator applications. However, ensure adequate ventilation for the motor to prevent overheating.
What are the electrical requirements?
The pump requires 115 V AC, 60 Hz power. It draws approximately 0.5 A. Use a dedicated outlet and avoid extension cords.
Is the pump repairable?
Yes, the pump is field-serviceable. Replacement parts such as impellers, seals, and the motor can be ordered from Perlick or authorized dealers. Disassembly is straightforward with basic tools.
What is the warranty on the Perlick GB4?
