Calling 49xx conversions

[rhltechie]

Hi all,

I was just curious what other sanyo 49xx owners did with their co tanks when they had two cornies. I can follow the guides I have seen here to fit in a tank and two cornies. So what are you all doing? Are you using dual regulators? A splitter? I can't imagine a splitter type deal. I would need to force carb and pour. So it seems like it's dual regulators or another tank outside the fridge.What say you all?

TIA,

M

Me personally... I have a big ass 25lb tank, and a big ass Micromatic dual regulator, so it sits outside the fridge.

oh..wow, 25lbs! i guess you would have to keep it outside!

Same with my 150 cu/ft stout bottle it stands 51" tall hence in a remote location.

I have a 10 pounder that I keep out the fridge. I only have a single regulator so I ran a hose out of the regulator and into the fridge through the drain hole. In the fridge I have a tee and two check valves for the kegs.

10 pounder inside the fridge with dual regulators. It is a tight squeeze...

In a Sanyo 4912?! With two kegs? I have a 5# tank with dual pressure regulator & two kegs and that's a tight squeeze as far as I'm concerned. Maybe a 10# tank isn't as big as I'm thinking? Is it just bigger around than a 5# or is it taller too?

 

[rhltechie]

Wow.. Some very different ideas. I was leaning more towards to tank
inside with dual regs. Does anyone have a pic of that setup? Or their own?

I've never heard of anyone using two tanks inside the fridge. Dual reg yes, two tanks no.

I have the dual reg with a single 5# tank. Can't imagine a 10# tank inside. I can't even picture that. There's no way a 10 # er would fit inside my fridge. (with two cornies that is)

I use a 5# tank inside with a splitter hooked up to 2 kegs...and I did not disassemble my inside door.

5 lb tank inside, dual regulator, 2 kegs, door assembly is intact, minus the bottom shelf.

I cannot fathom how anyone could fit a 10 lb tank in there with a dual reg. Would love to see a pic of that.

They make two sizes of 10 lb tanks. One is short and fat the other is tall and narrow. If I took the door off and made a shelf I could probably fit my 10lb in the fridge. I just don't feel like dealing with that hassle.

ok...so i am going to go with the tank inside and a dual regulator. I have actually taken my shelves off the door and put on the marker board like buford did..so i have plenty of space. thanks for all of your replies!

If i decided on a 10lb....maybe i would be able to fit it!
