Yes you can. I suggest laying it on its side so that you have a constant downward flow. I did this for a while until my upgrade to a pump. Is a little challenging..but can be done.

Chester Twp. But work in Piscataway. Easy lunchtime trip to their shop.

Thanks for the tips guys! All things I'd likely cursing at myself about, after the fact. :-D I just ordered my burners, pump mount and utility shelf this evening. Looking forward to picking it all up (@ love2brew) and get brewing on the stand. Just hope the cold weather stays away...

Great thread! Just received a TT as a birthday gift from swmbo and our newborn (been eyeballing for years) ha. Started building it this past weekend on brew day... Need to order burners still and install some of the great ideas posted. Will get some pics up soon as well.

(My turn to resurrect this one).... Since recently finishing my kegerator...I too have been looking for co2. This past weekend asked my beer guy at the liquor store and he pointed me to 'County Welding Supply' in Wharton and 'Middlesex Welding Sale' in North Brunswick. I think I am going...

Good post. This has been one item I have been trying to decide whether or not is was worth doing with my Sanyo conversion (as well as installing an external thermostat, which I am sure I will wind up doing).

FWIW (glad I saw this post)...just ordered the 4912 from Fry's for $210 shipped. Project Kegerator is in motion for me. :)

Gah. Oh well....I did not put 2+2 together until tonight when I checked this thread. Next time! :tank: Maybe I am misinterpreting this fitting. But I am under the impression the p/u tube, when the nut is tightened down, should be secure and should not slide freely. That is the way I have seen...

Almost forgot to post...Chris, I was in Orlando all last week at a conference at the Dolphin and Swan. I should have sent you some beer for putting up with my stupidity here. ;) Anyway, the p/u tube is not a snug fit in the compression fitting as I had expected it to be when tightened down...

Heh. I was just googling these fittings and it looks like the cone is definitely backwards. (duh to me). So that makes more sense. Thanks. I know I keep asking...but should I be concerned with the freely sliding p/u tube? Not that I am worried that it will come out of the adapter...more that...

Hmm. I thought I might have had it that way. So all parts should be assembled like this?(sorry, lousy cell phone pic) If so...how secure of a fitment should I expect when tightened down for the tube? Hand tightening with this set up allows for the p/u tube to slide freely.

Hmm. Lemme take a picture of it and the hardware inside. I wonder if I have the innards backwards. [edit] Here's a pic of the connector taken apart and parts in order that they came out (right to left).

Just bringing this back up real quick. I just got the false bottom and compression fitting from Midwest Supplies that Chris recommended. Can someone (Chris?) explain to me how the compression fitting is supposed to work with the pickup tube? I expected it (the pickup tube) to have a secure and...

Hmm. I had not factored in trub either here. So, I'd have to shorten the sanke adapter a little anyway to minimize that. Not really a concern just yet, but def. needs to be thought about. I still think it would be in the way of my IC and as Chris_Dog metioned, the IC is going to eventually...

I was just thinking that too while flipping thru my catalogs here. Hmm.
