I only have space for a mini-fridge kegerator in my apartment. Currently the freezer compartment is completely idol and I was thinking of creating a glycol reservoir in there to use with either the Anvil or SS Brew Tech cooling systems. I only brew 3 gallon batches, and I don't really need to lager, so I think it might have just enough oomph to suit my needs.
I've found a stainless steel hotel pan to use as a reservoir and it fits the freezer perfect.

The problem is the pan is the eaxct same height as the freezer. There is no room to run hoses over the edge of the pan and out to my fermenter. My plan was to drill a couple holes in the pan, and find a screw-on, gasketed connector that has a hose barb on each side. Sort of like the ball valve part of this kit,

but it would have barbs on both sides, and wouldn't have the valve. It just needs to seal against the pan and connect a vinyl hose on each side.
Does anyone know where I might find something like this?
Of course I could use a shorter pan, but I'd be giving up almost 50% of the usable glycol volume.
Thanks!
