There are a few threads on this model build, and one of them has the ideal place to drill a hole in the compressor hump to run your co2 hose to the outside, do a search and you should find it relatively easy.

Default Pepsi Kegs only (not Coke kegs!!)

Hi,

I just got this same fridge from Lowes (it is a discontinued model, they only had a couple left in stock!!).

Anyway, I didn't even need to remove the top, and I used a couple of filtered water dispensers on top ($50 each, lowes) and they work great.

However, this fridge will NOT, i repeat NOT fit 2 coke style corny kegs. The coke style I bought were ball-lock conversions, not actual pepsi ones which are about an inch in diameter smaller!!

Just beware, I had to go out and buy new corny kegs, and the pepsi ones are a little harder to find!! But yes you can fit 2 pepsi kegs in there.

But all in all this fridge works great, and the freezer portion comes right out with 2 screws. NICE.

I picked one of these up today and the threads are tremendously lengthy with a wealth of information. I would like to put a double tower toward the rear but I am still concerned about drilling through cooling lines. How have you all determined exactly where the lines run?

What model fridge is that?

Is that larger than the Danby 440BL?

Special thanks to Chris for posting this thread. I mounted a draft tower on this fridge last weekend with the advice found here. I am going to try using just copper tubing, wrapped in insulation tape, wrapped in foam to keep the lines cool with the hopes that I will not need a fan.

With this setup, what length liquid lines are people using? I probably should have switched out the lines that came with the tower before mounting, but alas, I was too excited to get the build under way.
