MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1.1
WALL MOUNT
The "Bib Air Vent" assembly can be mounted directly to a wall with four (4) #8 self tapping wood screws, 3/4" long. Mount
valve assembly with vent hole up, level and square to walI.
1.2
LANCER PUMP MOUNT
The "Bib Air Vent" assembly can be mounted directly to a Lancer Syrup Pump (PN 82-0109, with sold-out) by the following
method:
A.
Remove the screw indicated in Figure 1 from the left hand end cap of the Lancer pump body. Discard screw.
B.
Assemble connector (PN 54-0037) to "Bib Air Vent" inlet port. Secure with one (1) short screw (PN 04-0317).
C.
Insert connector into Lancer pump syrup outlet port. Snap fingers over sold-out device. Secure with one (1) short screw
(PN 04-0317).
D.
Align wall mounting leg with screw hole on end cap of pump body. Secure with one (1) long screw (PN 04-0313).
2.
HOSE CONNECTIONS
Connect pump "syrup outlet" hose into "Bib Air Vent" inlet port with 3/8" barb fitting. Connect outlet hose with 3/8" barb fitting from
outlet port on "Bib Air Vent" to inlet port on dispenser.
3.
OPERATION
When properly connected to the discharge side of a syrup pump, the "Bib Vent" will safely remove air which has been introduced
into the system through vacuum leaks or connecting fresh Bib packages. The unwanted air accumulates in the upper chamber of
the vent's primary reservoir and compresses due to inlet syrup pressure. As additional air is introduced, it displaces the syrup. When
the syrup level decreases, the primary float drops away from the seat, allowing an instant release of air to transfer through the
secondary reservoir and to the atmosphere.
This cycle is repeated as additional air is introduced to the Bib system. The vent's secondary reservoir acts as a safety chamber,
should the primary reservoir float fail. If syrup transfers to the secondary reservoir, instead of the air then the secondary float will
rise in the transferred syrup and seal against the air's outlet seat, thereby and preventing syrup from escaping.
4.
CLEANING AND SANITIZING
Cleaning and sanitized should be performed concurrent with sanitization of the Bib system.
WARNING
ALL INTERNAL PRESSURE MUST BE PURGED BEFORE REMOVING PLUGS OR DISASSEMBLY.
If a more stringent cleaning is required, then the transfer tube and secondary reservoir can be sanitized by removing the clean out
plugs.
