McGlaughlin Oil Company
McGlaughlin Oil Company has supplied lubricants from Columbus, Ohio since 1937, and its Petrol-Gel has been in production since 1952. Petrol-Gel is a tasteless, odorless sanitary lubricant made from a high viscosity paraffinic base oil with food grade additives.
Dairies, soft serve shops, bakeries, breweries and distilleries use it on the O-rings, gaskets, seals and valves that touch what they serve. On a draft system, a thin film keeps keg lid O-rings sealing, posts and disconnects sliding on easily, and faucet parts moving smoothly, without changing the taste of the beer.
Line Cleaning Kits & Parts
Draft Beverage Line Cleaning Kits. These kits are designed to clean small restaurant/bar setups and great for at home use in your home draft beer kegerators.
Simply mix some of the draft line cleaning chemicals into your line cleaning bottle with warm water and attach to your draft system to flush your beverage lines.
We offer an extensive line of Dual Flush Couplers and Line Jumpers for connecting multiple faucets and sanke D couplers together to clean multiple lines all at the same time! The draft line cleaning parts will save you time and energy allowing you to flush your system one time, rather than having to switch a cleaning keg or pump to every single draft line that you have.
Why Brewers Use Petrol-Gel
- No taste or smell. It won't taint beer, cider, coffee or anything else on draft.
- Stays put. It resists water, so it doesn't rinse off during cleaning.
- Handles cold and heat. McGlaughlin rates it for 0°F to 185°F, with a melting point of 195°F.
- Food-contact rated. McGlaughlin lists Petrol-Gel as USDA H-1 rated and FDA approved for use where incidental food contact can happen.
Where to Use It on a Draft System
- Keg lid O-rings and the large lid seal
- Ball lock and pin lock post O-rings
- Gas and liquid disconnect O-rings
- Coupler and probe seals
- Faucet shaft O-rings, coupling washers and moving parts
- Valves, gaskets and fittings on brewing and serving equipment
How to Apply It
Clean and sanitize the part first, then rub a thin film onto the O-ring or seal with a clean finger. A little goes a long way. Too much can trap debris, so wipe off any excess before you reassemble. Reapply whenever you replace O-rings or deep clean your kegs and faucets.
Petrol-Gel comes in 4 oz tubes, sold one at a time or by the case.
