Gas outside, Regulator inside pictures?

[HOP-HEAD]

I've been able to find only one picture where someone on here plumbed the regulators inside the keezer, but kept the C02 outside... made for a nice clean external set-up with an easy disconnect.

Does anyone have specifics on this or perhaps just a few more pictures?

I'm getting this one from kegconnection and would love to keep it inside the keezer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the gauges would read correctly with this set-up, right? Since the gas itself is still at room temp....

I'm partial to keeping the tank outside the kegerator...with a double gauge Primary Regulator. Like:

Then running a gas line through into the kegerator attached to a secondary regulator, Like:

Here's mine...




The triple primary regulator you have would require you to either...put the tank and regulator inside the kegerator together

OR

Replace the tank connector stem & nut with a High Pressure Hose.

routing the high pressure from your tank through the wall of the kegerator into the 3 gauge primary that you selected.

OR

Tank and triple primary outside the kegerator with 3 hoses drilled through the wall of the kegerator.

I still have 3 regulators the way I have mine setup. The primary outside the kegerator is set to the Highest Carbonation pressure that I call for. This is routed to the dual secondary...and the valve at the Left Hand side of the rig is dispensing that pressure.

The two secondary regulators are set to their pressures...and they route the gas out the bottom of the respective regulator body. I have one of them attached to a triple manifold. I usually set that one for 12PSI...and can connect 3 kegs to that pressure.

Hope this helps you tweak your system....

Of course you're the best judge of what you really want.

Or you can put a primary regulator directly on the tank to knock the pressure down to 30psi, run that through a low pressure hose into the kegger and attach it to that 3 reg bank. It's not cheap but it actually gives you 4 unique pressures. You can "Y" off the primary for utility gas, purging etc.

i did exactly what Bobby said and it works great! It also frees up space inside the kegerator (I have a 20 lb)

That's actually a very good idea. I see that the IN HOUSE regulators have Right Hand Thread on the High Pressure port...so it would be easy to take the stem off and put a threaded barb fitting to attach to your gas tubing. (Other brands have Left Hand Threads)

If you make a bulkhead fitting with 1/4" flare fittings...you have the flexibility of taking your tank an single primary with you to a party. Just close the shutoffs on your 3-reg bank...close the valve on your tank...unscrew the 1/4" swivel nut attaching the gas hose from your tank to the fridge bulkhead. Screw on a Ball lock or Pin Lock Disconnect that's threaded...and go to the party.

Just another thought...

tank and primary outside, 3 bank secondaries inside with a fan on temp controller to keep temps from stratifying. All mounted on the inside back of the collar for loading/unloading ease.

sorry bout the size of the pic
