    picked up a pair, just came in yesterday. not sure how i feel about 24v, but i'm not running them hard so it *shouldn't* be a big issue.

    Utopias

    i tried to order a bottle from our distributor "for the bar" (for me and a few buddies) and if it wasn't all sucked up via allocation, it should be arriving today. yes, $210 is steep, but you can split it a few ways with friends. and i've blown $50 in far worse ways...

    walk-in cooler with 8 taps thru wall. temp concerns with long shanks

    thank you to everyone who gave helpful tips on how to set up that cooler! i was about to do it completely differently, and you folks saved my butt from having to endure a nasty reconfig. as it is now, i open the tap into a pitcher to catch that first plop of foam, and then shove the cup under...

    walk-in cooler with 8 taps thru wall. temp concerns with long shanks

    got a couple more pictures of the working setup. i didn't get the shadow box all taped up and pretty for the pic, but you get the idea. i'm pleased with the end result so far. i have 8" shanks because i was going to be coming through 6" of wall and insulation, and it was gonna put me behind by...

    walk-in cooler with 8 taps thru wall. temp concerns with long shanks

    the biggest concern i've got with the setup is that the shanks will sweat enough against the osb that there will be some rot over time, right around the area where the shanks pass thru the wall. i did a lot of taping and waterproofing inside the cooler to avoid heat transfer thru the walls and...

    walk-in cooler with 8 taps thru wall. temp concerns with long shanks

    @SanPancho your suggestion was a smashing success. after doing a little figuring, i managed to cut through the wall and add in a header that spanned the 4' width of the wall plate, and then i built in the shadow box and insulated it. i ended up with about 1-1/4" depth from stainless wall...

    walk-in cooler with 8 taps thru wall. temp concerns with long shanks

    Dang. I needed this info like 12 hours ago. Might be able to make some adjustments since the outer wall is still open. Thanks for the advice!

    walk-in cooler with 8 taps thru wall. temp concerns with long shanks

    I took advantage of the day off from the bank to get the walk-in (mostly) built. First I cut some styrofoam to fit between the studs for a little extra R value in the dead space. Then I used two 2" layers of foil faced polyiso foam boards, glued to the inside of the studs. Fashioned some cap...

    walk-in cooler with 8 taps thru wall. temp concerns with long shanks

    why not! this is the front of the bar. restrooms are off to the left, and bar service area is the large opening on the right. wall panels aren't all on yet, but will be by end of the week (along with trim and roof tin). bar-front by wacky1980 posted Jun 19, 2019 at 3:53 PM this is a closer...
