I've got three perlick taps that I am putting in the door of an upright refrigerator. I'm starting with three. I'm asking for advice, and tips before I start. I'll try to summarize what I know so far from reading various things.
-Use a 1 inch hole saw.
-Drill a narrow hole first using that as a guide for the hole saw.
-I'm planning on using the narrower, long drill bit all the way through the door first, going out to in, going slow once I get to the insulation.
-I'm giving myself 4.25 inches between center for each tap to give myself plenty of room for odd handles.
-The shanks are plenty big at 4 inches, so that shouldn't be a problem.
-I'm hoping that I can just drill a small and neat enough hole on the inside of the door, that I don't need any wood panel, so I can just adjust the shank against the outer plastic lining of the door.
Please chime in with tips or "don't do that" kind of advise. I'll post pics when I'm done.
Thanks,
