Draft Beer Cleaning Tools, Adaptors & Accessories
Chemicals do the heavy lifting in beer line cleaning, but the right tools make the process faster, more thorough, and easier to do consistently. This collection covers the mechanical side of draft system maintenance — the brushes, adaptors, couplers, and specialty accessories that connect your cleaning equipment to your system and get into the places chemicals alone can't reach.
What We Carry
- Faucet brushes — sized for cleaning inside the faucet body, bore, and spout after disassembly; required for the BA-recommended bi-weekly faucet cleaning
- Coupler brushes — clean the probe and interior of keg couplers where beer contacts metal; prevents cross-contamination between kegs
- Beer line brushes — long flexible brushes for scrubbing the inner wall of beer lines during deep cleans
- Cleaning adaptors — connect cleaning cans and recirculating pumps to couplers, faucets, and shanks; essential for sealing the system during cleaning
- Double flushers & faucet plugs — allow simultaneous cleaning of multiple lines or seal faucet openings during the cleaning cycle
- Specialty cleaning accessories — additional tools for recirculating pump setups, tower cleaning, and non-standard system configurations
When to Use Each Tool
- Every 2 weeks: faucet brush (after disassembly), cleaning adaptors for line cleaning setup
- Every keg change: coupler brush to clean probe and body
- Every 3 months: beer line brush for deep mechanical scrubbing alongside acid clean
Pair with line cleaning chemicals and a recirculating pump for a complete BA-compliant cleaning program.
Cleaning Tools FAQ
Do I really need to brush-clean faucets if I'm already running chemical cleaner through the lines?
Yes — chemical cleaner circulating through the beer line doesn't reach the internal mechanism of a disassembled faucet the same way a brush does. Faucet brush cleaning is a separate, required step in the BA-recommended cycle, not something chemical line cleaning replaces.
What's a double flusher used for?
A double flusher lets you clean two beer lines simultaneously from one cleaning can or pump setup, cutting cleaning time roughly in half on a multi-tap system compared to running each line separately.
