Ha - Its not screwed on - I was just using the picture to show the issue.
Only issue then is the dial etc would be upside down and would be a pain to adjust.
Flipping the gauges over would be 180°
. 90° would turn the gauges so that they face upwards, with the screw pointing up. The black housing around the screw is pretty deep(tall), so it might not work. Yeah 90 degrees pointing upwards wouldn’t fit either because of the screw and the black housing. I’ll have a play tomorrow, maybe it will fit if I have it at less of an angle, maybe 45 degrees or so.Flipping the gauges over would be 180°
Put a collar on it and you could get another keg in there. Maybe not though with a 10 lber.
that's what i was thinking.
Yes that is another option, but I wanted to contain it inside if possible. I can fit 3 corny kegs in the freezer and the co2 tank which is my current requirement. Also wanted to avoid having to drill a hole in the side of the freezer. A collar isn't really an option.
Or get a 5 lb tank.
40% more for the left hand thread? Damned rectocentrists!
Spin your tank so the regularor is facing the freezer wall and then give the regulator a 1/4 twist back so the guages are facing up at a 45 degree angle.
This will have the added benefit of improving your ability to read upside down.
the best spot for holes isnt on the sides, thats actually the worst spot due to the coils. best spot is about 1-2 inches surrounding the hinges on the back wall. there's no coils in that area so you can drill a fairly large hole if you want.
Did you mean something like this? That darn collar is still too long, but I assume I could then change the outlet of the regulator with an angled fitting.
That sounds like the best solution.
I don't see how that would help unless I'm missing something.
The PRV is mounted at a 45 degree angle. It looks like your problem would be solved if it was the outlet that was angled down. But maybe the PRV is also too long to mount pointed straight up?
Yes, but I thought you could turn the guages so they would face up. I see the low pressure line is going to be a problem with doing that.
Noted, but I went with this solution from Kegconnections to get me started: 3 Faucet Basic Commercial Kit
Got it. With the street elbow I think I should be able to face them up slightly with the collar not hitting the lid of the freezer.
Long story, but I'm trying to fit it to match the rest of my bar and I don't want to increase the height by much. I have a tower to come out from the top of the Keezer. I could add a 1-1/4" tall collar, 2-1/4" if I replace the freezer lid completely (Right now I plan to just add a wooden counter on top of the lid). A collar seems like a lot of work, for not much gain, but could be done if I have to go that route. As someone else suggested cutting a hole in the back sounds simpler.
That's exactly what I did for both my fermentation chamber where I use generated CO2 it to purge kegs, and my keys are where I keep my kegs under pressure.
