External wrap/installation for PVC pipe?

[John Eagle]

Thanks for the help on my last question. I am doing a through the wall tap setup from my keezer. I have a wood collar already installed. Now what I am going to do is run two (2 inch diameter) PVC pipe sections into an insulated box mounted on the wall to keep the lines/taps cold. The one PVC run will hold two beer tap lines and the other will have a fan on the top of it just circulating air flow in the box.

My question is there will be about 1.5-2 ft of PVC pipe outside of the keezer spanning from the wood collar to "keg tap box." Should I wrap the PVC pipe in anything to keep that cold? TIA

Not real sure what you have in mind for a finished look but if you have the room I would use some 4" PVC, slip the 2" inside and center them. Than fill the cavity between the two with a can of expandable spray foam insulation.

But yes they should be insulated.

That is a great idea. Do you have a recommended foam to use or just anything from the big box stores?

.........the big box stores?....

Box store foam should work just fine.

How did you attach this to the freezer/fridge and still make it easy to change kegs?
