Does anyone have one of these towers?

trub quaffer · Aug 1, 2009

I'm looking at mounting one of these towers on a Frigidaire FRC445GB mini-fridge. Beer Tower, 2 Faucet, 3' Stainless Steel. The only concern I have is the number of mounting bolts and their location. The description doesn't give this information. I saw a post on converting this fridge and the easiest location for the tower is at the front but there is very little room. The author recommended making sure that the tower only has 4 mounting bolts. Anyone know the answer?

I have the three tap version. Four bolts in a square pattern spaced ~3 inches apart.

It's a high quality tower and I recommend getting the upgraded Perlicks...

I have the two tap version. 4 Mounting bolts is correct, and I also recommend the Perlick faucets. Worth every penny.

Thanks for the info. I'd already decided on getting the Perlicks after reading all the problems people have with the standard faucets sticking. I just got back from picking up the fridge at Lowes ($144 +tx). Now I've just got to get the tower and a hole saw and start cutting on the top of that fridge.:rockin:

Make sure to watch a video about not cutting into something vital on top of the fridge. Chrisknight's youtube videos about kegerator conversion do a good job showing the process.

Awesome, now I know what I'm asking for for my birthday next week. Thanks for posting this.

There is great information on doing either a top mount or door mount conversion on this fridge on this previous post-https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/frigidaire-model-frc445gb-mini-fridge-kegerator-conversion-89013/index11.html. I plan on posting my experience on that post as well.

+1 to the perlicks, I have that tower with the standard issue faucets and they stick all the time.

Looks like a good time to upgrade those sticky faucets.

Does anyone have one of these towers?
