For those of you who have assembled a jockey box. I recently decided to build a jockey box for some up coming events and went with the 50' pre bent stainless coils. I having problems with the assembly.

When I went to install them I ran into the issue that the fittings are both facing the same direction. How do I get the fitting to connect to the inlet(non tap side) without taking a tube bender to the coil? Can I just twist it and connect it? Im hesitant to go trying to bend it for fear of severly kinking the tube. Also if I just twist the tube around wont it put undue pressure on the cooler frame and eventually bend or crack the cooler?

Thanks for the help!
 
You have a couple of options. Cut the tube ends short, turn the coil 90 degrees from the wall or toward the middle of the cooler.
