Frequently Asked Questions - 650 Perlick

How do I clean the Perlick 650 faucet?

You can clean the faucet in place by pumping cleaning solution through the beer system with the faucet open. Alternatively, remove the faucet and soak it in cleaning solution for 10-15 minutes, brush the spout and back, then rinse with clean water.

Why does my faucet drip from the spout?

Possible causes include a damaged or worn Front Seat (O-ring), a damaged handle lever, an improperly installed Bearing Cup, or a loose Bonnet. Replace the front seat, handle lever, reinstall the bearing cup, or tighten the bonnet as needed.

How do I replace the front seat O-ring?

Disassemble the faucet by removing the handle jacket and compression bonnet. Use a small screwdriver from the bonnet end to remove the old front seat. Reinstall the new front seat into the O-ring groove using a small blunt screwdriver, ensuring it moves freely.

What does the flow control lever do?

The flow control lever adjusts the flow rate of beer. If it does not change flow, ensure the handle lever is oriented correctly (toward the spout) and that the compensator is properly engaged.

How do I remove the faucet if it is stuck on the shank?

Pour hot water on the Coupling Nut on the shank to loosen it. This helps if the faucet has not been removed recently.

Why does beer pour in a semi-circular shape?

This is typically due to low or turned off CO2 pressure. Check and adjust the CO2 pressure to remedy the issue.

What parts are included in the flow control seal kit?

The flow control seal kit (part #67989SK for model 650) includes seals for the flow control compensator. The lever & seal kit (part #67989LK) includes the lever and additional seals.

How do I disassemble the faucet for maintenance?

Soak the faucet in warm cleaning solution for 1-2 minutes (used) or warm water for 5 seconds (new). Unscrew the handle jacket and compression bonnet. Remove the handle lever assembly by lifting upward. Use a small screwdriver to remove the front seat and O-ring from the bonnet end.

What is the benefit of the forward sealing design?

The forward sealing design uses a ball and floating O-ring that eliminates the need for a valve shaft. This prevents beer from being exposed to air, so the handle doesn't stick, and there is no buildup of mold or bacteria in the faucet body. It also produces a smooth flow with less foaming.

Where can I buy replacement parts for the Perlick 650?

Replacement parts can be ordered from Perlick Corporation or authorized dealers. Always use OEM replacement parts for best performance. Part numbers are listed in the manual, e.g., front seat #67933-1, O-ring #67830-1, etc.

FORWARD SEALING BEER FAUCETS

U.S. PATENT #8066257

Perlick's Forward Sealing Beer Faucets are unique in both appearance and function. The revolutionary ball and floating O-ring design eliminates the need for a valve shaft. Beer is not exposed to air so the handle lever doesn't stick, and there is no build up of mold and bacteria in the faucet body. The polished interior produces a smooth flow with less foaming, ensuring a perfect pour each and every time. Fewer internal parts means better reliability and fewer service calls. This faucet will fit all standard North American shanks.

Cleaning Instructions

Before using your new Perlick faucet, clean the faucet as you would for regular cleaning (see cleaning instructions below.) This will ensure that the faucet is clear of any materials that may be present from the manufacturing process.

We recommend that the faucet be cleaned when the beer system is cleaned. Regular cleaning of the faucet is extremely important. The faucet can be cleaned "in place" by simply pumping your cleaning solution through the beer system with the beer faucet in the opened position (handle forward). There is no need to remove or disassemble the faucet! By leaving the faucet installed, the cleaning solution will thoroughly clean all internal parts including the floating O-ring and its groove.

If your specific cleaning procedure requires removing the faucet from the dispensing head, soak the faucets in cleaning solution for 10-15 minutes. Use a faucet brush inside the spout, then brush out from the back of the faucet (there is no need to remove the handle assembly.) Rinse with clean water and install back on the dispensing head.
