Mounting a beer tap in drain pipe,...

Hi,

I was thinking of mounting three taps in a copper drainpipe, something like this:

Kobber - Tagrender - Tagrender og tag | BilligVVS.dk

But,... the smallest construction that I have seen is a tap with a 3" shank and 90 degree elbow. Is there something smaller than this, that would fit inside a narrow space ?

Thank you,
walther

If I understand correctly, I think you need something like this.
Elbow Nipple Shanks

Exactly

Is that what is used in beer towers ?

cheers,

Yes, short elbow shanks are whats used in most beer towers.

That sounds like a nice idea...a large copper pipe tower, i like it. Nice looking stainless table w/ sink! Nice brickwork in the garage, nothing like that around here, where are ya man?

I wanted to use a 3'' copper pipe for my tower but I thought it might sweat more than chrome or ss. Suppose you could insulate the inside

when I made mine I used a 4 inch drain pipe (PVC) and covered it with copper flashing. Worked great and no sweating

Thank you for the replies.

I was thinking of maybe insulating by inserting a cardboard tube, and then some expanding foam,...

I know this is a 5 year old thread. Wondering how it worked out for you? I'm looking to add drain pipe manifold to my walk in cooler. It will have 90 degree elbows at both ends to allow air flow to keep lines chilled.
