I was researching making my own keg tower and found this. IMO it's pretty sweet. Anyone know the best place to buy pipe fittings for this? And how did he get the shank to fit in there? It looks really cool and really simple

Looks like just a flange, straight piece, 90 degree elbow and bushing.

Would you want your beer running through there?

Hmmm I'm thinking there's gonna be beer lines running through and not just free flowing beer inside the pipe.....I could be wrong though

If the beer is in contact with the black pipe, you're doing something horribly wrong! It's just for aesthetics.

Ah. Gotcha.

See, that's what I get for working at a chemical plant. The inability to not imagine liquid flowing directly through the pipes.. Thanks for not calling me a dumb ass fellas!

Looks like about $25 in black pipe and a few faucets/shanks. You should absolutely DIY. Upgrade the faucets with the money you're saving.

Those parts should all come threaded from any plumbing supply place... use thread sealant, thread tape, or something similar to prevent marring during assembly. I'd also top coat it with paint to prevent rust inside and out... buy the paint that looks like rust if that's the look you're going for.

Finally, of course there are beer lines in this thing! :smack:

Cracking me up....yeah, I'm gonna have to find a plumbing place. I can't seem to find the right stuff online at homedepot or lowes. I'm gonna visit homedepot today to see what they have in stock

 

[Kmcogar]

Still doing some research but these pipes are more expensive them I though. Still not too bad though

And I gotta find a way to put the shanks and faucets in their place

This is why I love the Home Brew Talk family, Domantori was just unsure and noone was a ****** about it!! You guys all rock.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead. Did you end up using 2" pipe and fittings? Trying to decide if I should go 2" or 3"? I'm gonna have three taps. Thanks

I actually never got around to doing this project. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money and then it come out bad. But! Here's a link to someone who did.
