Hand pull beer pumps

[Johnny darke]

Hi guys does anybody know where I can get a cheap reconditioned hand pull pump that I can use for beer in a box ie polypin connectors ect

 

[crowcrow]

I picked mine up at a car boot, didn't take much to get it working well. They are pretty simple.

Can usually find them on ebay for around £45 plus delivery, sometimes cheapest esp for collection only.

You can get non workers for around £20 to £50 on the likes of Ebay or Gumtree.
These can be stripped down (if newer and spares are available) and made good if competent for around another £25 to £50 depending on spares and seal kits required.
You can pick a "working" pump up again from ebay etc for maybe £80 upwards or may still be able to buy one from a refurbisher online for around £150 upwards which will be guaranteed.

Ok thank you I’ve seen a few I do work on my tools for a living but I’ve never stripped one down wasn’t sure about the space and where to get them

I got an Angram from eBay for £85 last month and I'm well pleased with it. Also I think some sort of adaptor is required for the polypin connection

 

[Johnny darke]

Yes thanks for that I have been looking on eBay most of the ones I’ve seen in about £130 there are a couple of cheap ones they are for about £40 I think they probably need a bit too much work and then you’ve got the added aggro of trying to find a spares for them

There isn't a lot to go wrong with them other than the piston, washers, o rings and pipe connectors. I stripped mine down with very basic tools and found the washer on the piston was deformed - flipping it over fixed it for me. Your mileage may vary though!

Hi,
I bought mine from R.L.B.S. Refurbished Hand Pulls

They stock loads of spares as well.

Worth checking Facebook Marketplace too if you can. I bought two working Angram CQ, £50 for two. I think I got a bit of a bargain. It was from a hotel who were going keg-only as they didn't sell enough cask. I took out £200 in cash to go pick them up. When he said "£50?" I thought, "bargain", so I took out £100 from my wallet as I was going to buy two of the 4 he had, and he said "no, £50 for the two". I think I got lucky.

Okay thanks for that I did see them on the InternetQuite a few were out of stock ones they did have 150 quid hoping it would be a bit cheaper than that But thanks anyway I will keep looking

Haha, where are you based?

Portsmouth area

Ideally I would prefer a hand pull pump rather than CO sorry I have only just started looking this last week or so So I am not giving up hope yet I don’t mind doing a little bit of work on time but ideally if I can get one in good working order all the better really

What is CO? Mine is what I would call a handpump, with a 1/4 pint cylinder. I must admit, I am on a learning curve with beer engines.
Here is a pic of one of them (both identical). They are currently at my parents (I was visiting them when I bought them).

 

[Johnny darke]

Not really sure same is you still on the learning curve I thought you might of meant CO2 as it needed gas maybe it’s just the model where are you based anyway ?

 

[AnimatedGIF]

I am in Reading.
When I went to pick these up, he had two more, but I think they were "fake" beer engines as they had no cylinder and I believe hooked up to a keg instead of cask. Essentially, it's to make it look like "pulling a pint" whereas it is actually just pushed through with CO2.

I saw on FB just now one going for £15 in Dorking. Apparently it works: Log into Facebook

 

[Johnny darke]

Are you planning on using both of yours because if not I’m willing to make an offer on one of yours I’m not trying to be pushy just thought I would ask
