DISPENSING FROM THE BENCHY GLYCOL
Before attaching the Benchy Carbon to your keg first screw your taps onto the two shanks on the
front of the Benchy and tighten the shank collar using a 7 in 1 Facet Tap Wrench/Spanner Tool.
After tightening your taps onto the shanks, you can then plumb your kegs in to the Benchy Carbon.
On the back of the Benchy you will find two 8mm push in bulkhead fittings. Simply push 8mm OD
EVABarrier tubing from your liquid ball lock disconnect or keg coupler into the bulkhead fitting. Then
attach the ball lock disconnect or keg coupler onto your liquid keg post or spear respectively.
Ensure that the EVABarrier hose is cut straight and cleanly with a Stanley knife or 2 in 1 tube cutter
). Then firmly push the EVABarrier hose into the opening of the bulkhead. Make sure that
the hose is pushed in to its full depth. Then check for a good connection by gently pulling bank on
the hose. If the hose comes out of the push in fitting, reinsert ensuring the hosing is pushed far
enough into the fitting.
To remove EVABarrier hose from the push in fitting, simultaneously push the collet in while pulling
the EVABarrier hose out of the push in fitting. Once the hose is removed cut the burred end off with
a 2 in 1 tube cutter or Stanley knife to produce a clean straight cut.
A 7 in 1 spanner tool (
) can also be used to remove hosing from the push in fitting. Insert the
hose into the groove in the centre of the spanner and use the spanner to press in on the collet while
pulling on the hose.
After your taps are attached and your kegs are plumbed into your Benchy Carbon you can then hook
CO2 up to your keg and set the pressure based on your desired carbonation level and the ambient
temperature according to a carbonation chart.
Further tips on
how to balance your Benchy dispensing system with CO2
are described later in this
instruction manual
