SHURflo 166-257-00 Beer Ace II Standalone Gas-Operated Beer Pump

The SHURflo (Pentair) 166-257-00 Beer Ace II Pump is a high-efficiency, gas-operated baseline component engineered for commercial draft beer lines and long-draw beverage networks. Designed to operate as a standalone base body without pre-packaged line adapters, this unit gives field contractors absolute flexibility to customize line connections while delivering the balanced pneumatic force required to move product over complex facility runs.

Primary Applications

Built specifically for setups that require a custom fitting profile or direct integration into an existing pump wall manifold, this standalone Beer Ace II pump manages lines feeding:

  • Custom long-draw commercial draft beer systems with non-standard line size adaptations
  • Multi-keg pump walls in large stadiums, festivals, breweries, and high-volume entertainment venues
  • Systems needing specialized quick-disconnect ports to transition directly from soft lines to heavy braided tubing

Advanced Product Features

  • Base Body Only Configuration: Ships without pre-packaged fittings, plugs, or hose barbs. This raw port layout provides the installer complete freedom to slide and lock in standard nylon or heavy-duty stainless steel quick-disconnect fittings.
  • Laminate Flow Twin Chamber Layout: Employs dual-balanced diaphragms driven by an extended piston design to prevent fluid shocking. This straight-through beverage path eliminates sudden velocity drops to prevent breakout faucet foam.
  • Total Gas Isolation: The driving CO2, Nitrogen, or compressed air propellant remains completely sealed away from the beverage loop. This eliminates wild over-carbonation or acidic flavor taints, ensuring maximum product quality.
  • Broad Pressure Performance: Effortlessly modulates draft system dynamics across an adjustable operating limit ranging from 20 PSI up to a maximum threshold of 70 PSI to conquer high system friction heads.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why doesn't the 166-257-00 model include quick-disconnect port fittings?

A: Pentair SHURflo distributes the 166-257-00 as a standalone base body component so commercial draft technicians can customize it to their exact setup parameters. This allows you to choose your own size or angle profile of push-in, flexible nylon barb, or heavy-duty stainless steel quick-disconnect fittings based on the specific lines in your cold-room installation.

Q: What is the main structural benefit of running a gas-driven pump over traditional high-pressure gas regulators?

A: Standard draft systems push beer by applying direct gas pressure to the liquid inside the keg. On long runs, that pressure has to be cranked high to overcome friction, causing the beer to absorb extra gas, foam wildly at the tap, and sour your taste profile. This pump uses gas solely as mechanical power to push internal diaphragms—maintaining a safe high-pressure line speed while allowing your keg regulator to sit at its true, unforced factory balance.

Q: Can I actuate this pump using standard workshop compressed air?

A: Yes, you can utilize compressed air, Nitrogen, or CO2. However, if running on compressed air, you must ensure the air feed line is completely clean and dry. Ambient condensation moisture or compressor oil vapors will gum up and degrade the tight tolerances of the internal air-valve components, shortening tool lifespan and voiding factory warranty backing.
