Unmounted 2-Way CO2 Manifold?

[Dannyboy87]

Hi all,

I'm in the process of building a 2-keg kegerator. Both of the kegs will be run off the same 5lb CO2 tank with a 2-way manifold to split the line. My only problem is, I don't want to accidentally hit a wire/cooling line mounting the manifold. I just ruined another mini-fridge and don't want to chance it.

Has anyone simply not mounted the manifold? Would this cause any problems? I have plenty of extra space in the fridge, so that's not an issue.

Thanks.

This is obviously a double post. Newb mistake!

Maybe double sided tape would work. I haven't tried it personally.

Before I moved my CO2 tank out of the fridge, I simply had the manifold linked to the regulator with some loose zip ties. It worked fine.

Only possible issue is the manifold moving and hoses coming undone / CO2 leaks. Clamp the hoses, try to keep the manifold from moving and you're fine.

Thanks everyone!

I ran the gas line through the edge of the door and mounted the manifold on the inside of the door. Here is a picture of the outside. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1451535540.335070.jpg
