CO2 Tank Outside of Keezer

[EODtony]

I'm starting my keezer build and am looking to keep my CO2 tank outside my keezer due to space limitations. I was wondering how folks are running the gas line inside the keezer in this instance? I was looking for something similar to the beer shank, that way I can disconnect the gas line if I ever need to.

I guess as a last resort I could just drill a hole and have the gas line just running through the collar.

Mine presently just runs through a hole in the collar from the back. There are bulkhead adapters available that go through a collar or fridge wall and have 1/4" MFL connectors on each end. I will be switching to that when I make some improvements to my keezer this summer.

Drill a hole through the collar. Off the top of my head, I want to say I drilled a 1/2" hole for mine. It created an air tight seal. So much so that I had to cut the gas hose at an angle to get it started through, then use vise grips to pull it the rest of the way...

+1. That seal with a 1/2" bit was tight as can be.

+1 I just drilled a hole in the back of my collar so it was out of site and ran the line through it.

Thanks for the advice.
