Routing Multiplex Conduit
FLOOR CHASES
Before pulling Multiplex conduit through a floor chase,
ensure the floor chase contains the following:
• 8" Minimum PVC Conduit
• Wide Sweep Elbows with a minimum 2 ft (61 cm) radius
• Chase openings should extend 6" (15.2 cm) above floor
• Chase must be clean and dry, no foreign materials
Pulling Conduit Through Floor Chase
1. Determine the most convenient way of routing conduit,
starting at the end which offers adequate room for
installation. The conduit installation process requires the
assistance of two (2) qualified personnel.
2. Locate steel fish tape and route through chase opening.
Route fish tape through entire chase until it appears at
opposite end.
3. Locate an appropriate length of rope and tie to end of fish
tape (end that was routed through chase in step 2).
Approximately 2 ft (61 cm) from steel fish tape/rope
connection, secure a swab to rope (use mop heads or
bundle of rags for swab).
4. Pull end of fish tape from starting point through chase with
rope and swab. The swab will sweep clean any
construction materials, moisture, or debris that may exist
in floor chase.
5. After floor chase has been cleaned, remove steel
fish tape and swab from rope. Locate bundle of
Multiplex conduit and uncoil conduit to allow
unrestricted feed during installation process.
6. Locate rope through chase opening and connect to
proper end of Multiplex conduit.
NOTE: Multiplex conduit is designed to be pulled
through a chase in the direction of arrows printed on
conduit (refer to figure 2).
7. After rope has been connected, tape end of conduit,
including rope, and form conduit end to a point.
Tape will ensure that no contaminants enter conduit
tubes during installation.
8. Place pointed end of Multiplex conduit through
chase opening. While one person pushes the
conduit through chase, another person should be
pulling conduit through chase with rope on opposite
end.
9. Once conduit has been routed through chase, pull
enough conduit through openings to ensure an
adequate supply at each end of chase for
connections.

Aerosol foam is to be used to fill the openings between the
conduit insulation and the inside diameter of the floor
chases. The purpose is to provide an air tight seal at the floor
level to prevent foreign matter from entering the chases.
Please read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
1. If the opening is too deep, insert a section of the excess
conduit insulation in the opening prior to using the foam
insulation.
2. Make sure all exposed carbonated water and syrup
lines are well insulated: towers to conduit; conduit
junctions, remote unit to conduit; drive thru junction.
3. Use aluminum foil (if used), and tape, packed in the
inner pack carton to insulate these connections.
4. Cut the conduit sections to fit like a glove over the
exposed lines and fittings.
NOTE: A little extra time spent doing a professional job
initially will eliminate a call back in several days to make
corrections.
OVERHEAD INSTALLATION
1. Determine the correct location for routing Multiplex
conduit. Be sure to avoid heat ducts, hoods, grills, or any
sharp objects that may exist above drop ceiling tile.
(refer to figure 3)
2. Unspool Multiplex conduit to allow unrestricted feed.
3. Conduit hangers should be spaced no more than 6 ft
centers.
4. Route conduit above ceiling tiles and connect to ceiling
and/or pipes using the appropriate conduit hangers. Be
sure conduit is suspended above ceiling tiles. Concern
should be given when determining appropriate method
of hanging conduit securely. Hangers must not crush or
pinch insulation. This will reduce cooling efficiency.
Once conduit has been routed, ensure an adequate supply
of conduit is provided at each end to make all connections.
!
Warning
Do not inject foam material directly on the connections where
the tubing connects to the barb fittings.

2. Route the conduit up basement wall and secure with
appropriate conduit hangers.
3. Conduit hangers should be spaced no more than 6 ft centers
4. Route conduit above ceiling tiles and connect to
ceiling and/or pipes using the appropriate conduit
hangers. Be sure conduit is suspended above
ceiling tiles. Concern should be given when
determining appropriate method of hanging conduit
securely. Hangers must not crush or pinch
insulation. This will reduce cooling efficiency.
Once conduit has been routed, ensure an adequate
supply of conduit is on hand to make all connections.
How To Connect The Multiplex Conduit
NOTE: Conduit lines should be long enough to allow
adequate work space when servicing equipment.
All Multiplex conduit syrup lines, carbonated water lines,
and the plain water line are coded for quick identification
and easy installation.
1. Locate the lines of Multiplex conduit routed at
refrigeration unit and dispensing tower.
2. Using an approved razor knife, cut Multiplex conduit
insulation by slicing along top side while peeling
insulation back at the same time.
3. For soda systems, connect each syrup line, carbonated
water line, and plain water line to the appropriate stainless
steel coil in refrigeration unit. For Glycol systems,
connect to bulkhead fittings.
NOTE: Stainless steel cooling coils in our refrigeration units
may contain either barb fittings or John Guest fittings,
depending on model. Before connecting conduit, identify
whether the conduit is thick wall or thin wall tubing (see
illustration). Thick wall tubing should only be used with barb
stem fittings. John Guest fittings can only be used with thin
wall tubing

Product suggestions for conduit tubing
Current conduit tubing is PTE lined. Therefore it is no
longer necessary to make sure pungent flavors are used
with specific tubing. Keeping with that process, when
connecting conduit to syrup boxes and valves, the best
flavor/tubing selection would be to utilize line number S1
for valve number 1, S2 for valve number 2, etc.

FITTINGS
Barb Stem Fittings
1. Moisten barbed fittings with warm water.
2. Connect appropriate lines to barbed fittings and secure
with two (2) tab clamps. Tab clamps should be
staggered when connecting (refer to figure 7).
3. Once the end of each line has been cut, lubricate with
water and insert line into John Guest Fitting. Be sure the
tubing is inserted firmly through O-ring in John Guest
fitting.
4. Connect each syrup line, carbonated water line, and
plain water line to the appropriate connection in
dispensing tower. Secure with two (2) tab clamps. If
tower has barbs, a John Guest adapter stem should be
used when connecting to a conduit with John
John Guest Fittings
NOTE: Connections in dispensing towers may contain
either barb stem fittings or John Guest fittings. See
previous section for proper instruction.
TEEING INTO MULTIPLEX CONDUIT SODA SYSTEMS
1. Locate the section in main conduit where tee
connections are to be made. Measure a 12" (30.5
cm) area in the designated section.
2. Using a razor knife, cut a “X” pattern in designated
section as shown in figure 8. Peel back the ends of foam
insulation and identify each syrup line and water line
located in conduit. Be careful not to cut lines inside
conduit. Even a small “nick” will result in leaks.
3. Using a tubing cutter, cut each syrup line (one [1]
line at a time) in main conduit. Locate barbed tees in
conduit tee kit, connect to each syrup and water line.
Secure with two tab clamps (refer to figure 11).
4. Locate the section of tee conduit. Using a razor
knife, slice foam insulation in a straight line on top
side of conduit. Pull back foam insulation and locate
each syrup line (refer to figure 12).
5. Connect each syrup line in a tee conduit to the
appropriate barbed tee connected to the syrup lines
in the main conduit. Secure with two (2) tab clamps
(refer to figure 11). Be sure to tee line markings
corresponding to the main conduit markings.
Figure 7
Figure 8
1. Before inserting appropriate conduit lines to John
Guest fittings, ensure that the end of each line is
cut square at a 90° angle.

Part Number EI211017 10/11
6. Locate carbonated water lines in main conduit and
cut using tubing cutter. Locate barbed “Ell” fitting
provided in kit and connect to carbonated water
lines (refer to figure 13).
7. Connect the carbonated water lines in tee conduit to
the appropriate barbed ells connected to carbonated
water lines in main conduit. Secure with two tab
clamps (refer to figure 14).
NOTE: The number of carbonated water lines will vary
depending on the model of the refrigeration unit.
8. Pull the sliced sections of foam insulation back over
openings where connections were made. Using
cloth tape, tape over openings and seal air tight.
9. After ensuring there are no leaks at conduit
connections, wrap foam insulation tape around the
sliced sections and insulate the Multiplex conduit
completely. This is very important to prevent
condensation and loss efficiency.
10. Seal each chase opening by spraying foam
insulation into each end of chase opening. This will
reduce risk of contamination of conduit in chase.

Beermaster Beer Conduit
INTRODUCTION
The following instructions will provide information for installing Multiplex/Multiplex Beer Conduit with your Beermaster System.
Areas which will be covered include routing the conduit for different bar set-ups, connecting the conduit at the Beermaster
Glycol Chiller, connecting the conduit at the beer cooler, and connecting the conduit at the dispensing stations.
FLOOR CHASES
Before pulling beer conduit through a floor chase, ensure the floor chase contains the following (see Figure 1)
• 6" (minimum) PVC conduit chase
• Wide sweep elbows (2 ft radius)
• Chase openings should extend 6" above floor
• Chase must be clean and dry–no foreign materials
Pulling conduit through floor chase
1. Determine the most convenient way of routing conduit,
starting at the end which offers adequate room for
installation. The conduit installation process requires the
assistance of at least two (2) qualified personnel.
2. Route the steel fish tape through chase opening. Push
fish tape through entire chase until it appears at
opposite end.
3. Locate an appropriate length of rope and tie to end of
fish tape (end which was routed through chase in step
2). Approximately 2 ft from steel fish tape/rope
connection, secure a swab to rope (use mop heads or a
bundle of rags for swab).
4. Pull end of fish tape from starting point through chase
with rope and swab. The swab will clean any
construction materials, moisture, or debris that may exist
in floor chase. Continue to swab the chase until the
swab exits the chase clean and dry.
5. After floor chase has been cleaned, remove steel fish
tape and swab from rope. Locate bundle of beer conduit
and unspool conduit to allow unrestricted feed during
installation process.
6. Locate rope through floor chase opening and connect to
proper end of beer conduit.
NOTE: The beer conduit is designed to be pulled through
floor chase in the direction of arrows printed on conduit.
7. After rope has been connected, tape end of conduit,
including rope, and form conduit end to a point (see
Figure 2). Tape will ensure that no contaminants enter
conduit tubes during installation.
8. Place pointed end of the conduit through chase
opening. While one person pushes the conduit through
chase, another person should be pulling the conduit
through the chase with rope at the opposite end.
9. Once the conduit has been routed through the chase,
pull enough conduit through the openings to ensure an
adequate supply at each end of the chase for
connections.

OVERHEAD INSTALLATION
Refer to Figure 3 for the following:
1. Determine the correct location for routing the beer
conduit. Be sure to avoid heat ducts, hoods, grills, or
any sharp objects that may exist above drop ceiling
tile.
2. Unspool the beer conduit to allow unrestricted feed.
3. Route the conduit above ceiling tiles and connect to
ceiling and/or pipes using the appropriate conduit
hangers. Be sure the conduit is suspended above
ceiling tiles, not lying on the tiles. Care should be
taken when determining appropriate method of
handing conduit securely. Hangers must not crush
or pinch insulation. This will reduce cooling
efficiency.
4. Once the conduit has been routed, ensure an
adequate supply of conduit is provided at each end
to make all connections.
BASEMENT CONSTRUCTION
Refer to Figure 4 for the following:
1. Unspool the beer conduit to allow unrestricted feed
during installation process.
2. Route the conduit up basement wall and secure with
appropriate conduit hangers.
3. After routing the conduit up the basement wall, route
conduit overhead on the basement ceiling. Connect
to the basement ceiling using appropriate conduit
hangers.
4. Once the conduit has been routed, ensure an
adequate supply of conduit is on hand to make all
connections.

Connecting Beer Conduit
Before connecting the beer conduit at the walk-in beer
cooler and beer towers, ensure an adequate length of
conduit is being supplied to make proper connections.
1. Locate the lines of the beer conduit routed to the
Beermaster Glycol Chiller.
2. Using an approved cutting tool, cut the beer conduit
insulation along the top side while peeling insulation
back at the same time.
NOTE: Glycol circuit is a pair of lines; one blue and one
red. The blue line is the discharge or supply line. The red
line is the return line.
3. Locate the return glycol supply lines of the beer conduit
and connect to the corresponding John Guest fitting on
the Beermaster Glycol Chiller.
4. Locate the discharge glycol supply lines of the beer
conduit and connect to the corresponding John Guest
fitting on the Beermaster Glycol Chiller.
5. Locate the glycol lines in the main conduit. Connect the
glycol lines of the beer unit to walk-in cooler conduit to
the glycol lines of the main beer conduit.
6. Locate the beer and glycol supply lines at the
dispensing station. Connect each beer line, incoming
glycol line, and outgoing glycol line to the appropriate
John Guest fitting at the dispensing station.

Caution
Only an approved cutting tool should be used to cut
polyethylene tubing. The cutting tool should contain a
razor sharp cutting blade so that the tubing will not be
crushed when cutting. A razor blade knife or butterfly
tubing cutter is sufficient (see Figure 6). Multiplex packs a
butterfly cutter with each Beermaster Glycol Chiller.
