Description

Beer Engine Non Return Valve

A beer engine is the hand pump on the bar that draws cask ale up from the cellar by suction, with no gas involved — one full pull moves roughly half a pint.

The supplier lists no dimensions for this item. Ask us and we will confirm the details you need rather than guess at them.

Before you order

  • Cylinder size decides pulls per pint — a quarter-pint engine takes two
  • The sparkler is optional and changes the pint noticeably; try both
  • Seals and valves are serviceable parts, not a reason to replace the engine

There is a fuller explanation of how to choose on the beer engines & accessories page.

Questions about this product

How much beer does one pull give?

It depends on the cylinder. A half-pint engine gives roughly half a pint per full pull, so one pint is two pulls. Quarter-pint engines are also common and take four.

What does a sparkler actually do?

It pushes the beer through fine holes as it leaves the swan neck, knocking condition out of the beer and creating a tight creamy head. It is traditional in the north of England. Removing it gives a looser head and more aroma, which is the southern style.

Does a beer engine need gas?

No. It is a suction pump u2014 that is the defining feature of cask dispense. The beer comes up the line under the pull of the handle, with nothing pushing it from behind.
