LIMITED WARRANTY
SHURflo warrants new Beverage Gas Pumps to be free from material and workmanship defects (under
normal use and service) for a period of five (5) years from the date of manufacture. An additional 30
days may be added to allow for storage and transit delays. In any event, the total limited warranty
period will not exceed sixty one (61) months from date of manufacture.
The limited warranty will not apply to pumps that were improperly installed, misapplied, or not
suitable with components of other manufacturers. The limited warranty will not apply to pumps

the testing and packaging of "sanitized & tested good" units.
No credit or labor allowances will be given to the returnee for pumps returned as defective. Warranty
replacements will be shipped on a freight allowed basis. SHURflo reserves the right to choose the
method of transportation.
This limited warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied, and no other person is
authorized to give any other warranty or assume obligation or liability on SHURflo's behalf. SHURflo shall
not be liable for any labor, damage or other expense, nor shall SHURflo be liable for any indirect, incidental

BEVERAGE GAS PUMP 166-296-XX
Installation and Operation Manual
SHURflo’s Beverage Gas Pump supplies syrup under
pressure to a post-mix dispenser, which mixes the
syrup with water to an exact ratio
used in conjunction with non-pressurized Bag-In-Box
(B-I-B) containers and a bag connector (Q.D.) fitting.
The pump can be operated on regulated CO
or compressed filtered air. The compressed gas drives the
pump and is not in contact with the syrup. Separate syrup
and gas chambers prevent contamination, foaming and
purging of the tubing when the B-I-B has emptied.
The pump retains pressure in the outlet line, operating only when syrup is
needed. When the dispenser valve is opened, the pump reacts to the
pressure drop by operating to maintain pressure in the line. When the
dispenser is closed, the incoming gas and output syrup pressures equalize
and the pump stops. Actual dynamic line pressure is dependant upon
system losses as outlined in the section "Pumping Capability".
The automatic "sold-out" feature within the pump ensures consistent
syrup delivery right up to the moment the B-I-B is empty. Vacuum
produced by the pump evacuates the syrup within the bag. Once the
preset vacuum point is achieved and held, incoming gas pressure to
the pump is shutoff causing the outlet syrup pressure to drop to zero.
When a new B-I-B is installed, the vacuum drops, the pump automatically
restarts and pressurizes the system. The SHURflo Beverage Gas Pump
ensures quality from the first drink to the last.

To prevent air from entering the system always leave the bag
connector attached to the empty B-I-B until a new B-I-B can be
installed. Air entered into the system, via air in the bags or vacuum
leaks, may cause brix fluctuation, foaming, spitting, non-operation

MOUNTING CLIP KNOCKOUT REMOVAL
Removal of the knockout tabs from the pump housing is only necessary if
the pump will be installed onto a SHURflo Mounting Board. Depending on
board style, spring clip orientation varies. Ensure spring clip position and
corresponding knockout tabs before removal.
The knockout tabs
Failure to remove the tab from the housing will cause the spring
clips not to engage completely, making the mounting insecure.
1.Position the pump on its side, in a
where the pump can be held firmly.
2.Place an appropriate sized flat blade screwdriver into
the indentation as shown.
Breaking the tabs at this particular indentation
facilitates complete tab removal.
3.Break the tabs loose by either pressing firmly, or
striking the screwdriver handle solidly with your palm.
4.The tab should break away from the housing, allowing
it to be popped-out with the screwdriver.

PUMP SANITIZING / WINTERIZING
Sanitization of the SHURflo Beverage Gas Pump is required. The frequency
of Sanitization is dependant on the concentrate type and its
manufacturer’s requirements. Factors which also affect the frequency of
this procedure are: temperature, concentrate volatility, facility conditions,
installation and equipment. The sanitizing procedure fulfills a required
10 minute contact time with a 200 ppm Sodium Hypochlorite solution.

Never apply pressure to the pump’s liquid inlet. Pressurized

purge fluid from the pump
(operating or not).
BEVERAGE SYSTEM ACCESSORIES
AUTOMA TIC SELECTOR V AL VE (ASV)
Eliminate the chore of replacing B-I-B’s during peak
business periods. Teeing B-I-B’s together still causes
them to empty at the same time. An ASV permits
multiple B-I-B’s to be connected to a particular
pump. Once the B-I-B
completely emptied the ASV automatically
switches sides to full B-I-B’s. An ASV allows
uninterrupted drink dispensing with the
ability to replace empty B-I-B’s at a
more convenient time.
SOLD-OUT-SWITCH (SOS)
The SOS kit prevents the dispensing of
syrup starved drinks by interrupting water
flow at the dispenser valve. An exceptionally
useful feature for lemon lime
thru windows. The SOS senses the pressure drop in the
syrup line caused by an empty B-I-B and interrupts power to
the valves’ electric solenoid. The SOS automatically resets with
the installation of a full B-I-B.
