Buying new BevAir need modification help

[Ricand]

My lovely wife is buying me a new BevAir model 94 to replace my dead keezer (link in sig). I have an 8 faucet T tower that I want to reuse. I want to get the BB94-1-B with stainless top, no towers or drains. BevAir will not void my warranty if I cut the top, but I'm concerned about the drains. Has anyone seen how the drain exits the DD94? If it's just a hole that's plugged and I can open it up there isn't a problem. If it's internal in the wall and the foam insulation has been injected I'm worried about getting a drain to exit the cabinet and maintain my warranty. I want to install THIS drip tray with glass rinser. Anyone who's seen the inside of a recent BevAir draft unit would know. Thanks in advance.

Whoops, never mind. I had the brilliant idea of calling the experts and talked to the engineering department at BevAir. Turns out, all I have to do is T off the condensate line from the evaporator. Woohoo!

Does it have the air blower to cool the tower? BevAir is good shtuff!

You going to run RO to the rinser?

Just a quick update on this old thread. I have the Bev-Air, it's beautiful and will hold 16 cornies. I have RO running through the glycol chiller for the tap head and use it for the glass rinser. Two bad things about this setup. The Bev-Air is LOUD LOUD when the compressor is running. Like almost stop your conversation loud, you must talk louder to hear over it. I even built a sink on the end with an open back. You can hear it running outside the brew barn. There is a bar here that has the same setup and I really notice it sitting at the bar, The background noise cancels it in a full bar setting. The other disappointment is temporary. The glass rinser sometimes sticks in the down position. If you remove your glass the water shoots up 8' or more. I contacted Micromatic and they were veeeery apologetic. They buy the valves from a high end german faucet company. The company has been working on a replacement that will be free for all purchasers. I love the rinser, but you have to maintain it every couple days right now. Phil at Micromatic hopes they will have a replacement in the next month or so that will take care of the problem. AMA
