I upgraded my old keezer with a taller collar. Now fits 6 pinlocks. Room for a storage shelf inside. I built permanent bases for some picnis taps out of 1/2" cpvc fittings.
1 You will need some of these. ^* cents at Home Depot.
.
2. Drill 1/2" hole thru back.
3.Paint em. I used carbon black.
4. Trim the tap so that it looks like this. I used a utility knife to score it and snapped it off.
5. Carve a small notch in the fitting. This keeps the tap from rotating in the fitting.
6. It goes together like this.
7. Drill !/2" hole in collar, attach beer line and mount em up.
8. Looks like this when finished.
So far, the friction of the line thru the collar is holding them in place. Could always glue them in , but, I wanted to be able to easily replace them. The are just cheap picnis taps after all.
