So, I finally got my hands on a kegerator... Haier HBF05EABB to be specific.
Great.
Single tap had to go. Bought myself a Three-Tap Tower. While waiting the 2+ weeks Beverage Factory took to get it to me (slackers), I was contemplating cooling.
For ease of installation, versatility, accessibility, and sheer genius... I decided on a PVC Pipe sleeve the length of the tower + some Fluted Copper Pipes the diameter of the seemingly not 5ft. stock hoses, and filling the gap with some polyurethane spray foam.
Assembled and ready to go - I decided to snap some shots before I installed.
For your enjoyment...
I made it so the copper tubing will sit approximately 1/2" inside the refrigerated chamber - obviously the PVC sleeve there isn't fully installed.
After I removed my weak-ass single tap tower and put this on, I realized I made the PVC a little too long. I need to notch out about a 1/2" on the side where it meets the center, lower draft shank. No worries, the diameter of the PVC I used sits perfectly on the existing hole on the kegerator, and with that spray foam insulation, it's probably doing its job better than the weak single draft empty tower.
I'll post some more shots once I fully install it properly. I expect the copper to keep these lines nicey nice.
