Adding a 2nd gas line to a Danby Kegerator?

[BrewJarreau]

Hi beer fam.
I recently scored a basic Danby kegerator - so now I can get off bottles!
The set up is designed for a commercial keg, I've purchased a DB dual keg system with the flex regulator so I can stand 2 5 gal corny kegs in the fridge. After purchasing everything I realized. There's only 1 hole for the gas line to enter the back of the fridge.
I can use a Y to split the gas inside the fridge but then I won't be able to regulate the gas for each keg.
SO- I need to drill a hole to add a 2nd gas line.
Has anyone else done this with a Danby Kegerator - can you give me some insight on where I drill this other hole without hitting any vital components inside the Fridge?

Thanks for your help!

Can the regulator hang out - inside the fridge?

Hi @BrewJarreau
Secondary regulators?

Hi @BrewJarreau
Secondary regulators?

- yeah, I just learned about this after my post. Might be how I go- which means I needlessly bought a regulator with individual controls- could totally mount something like this inside while running one gas line thru the back.

Oh well, you live you learn.
Thanks for the input!
Cheers!!

If you still need to drill it...pick your area but just drill the skin,carefully pick away any insulation,avoiding interior pipes,if any,then drill through interior skin. You should get a useable hole without bursting anything.

Hi @BrewJarreau
If you are running only two kegs you need only one pass-through secondary regulator - set the main regulator on the gas bottle for one keg and use the secondary regulator for the second keg.
Something like this.

Ah ha- Ok, great!
Yeah- I'll likely stick to 2 kegs for a while - My lady might start to come unglued id if I start running microbrewery out of my house.
Thanks for all the input friends!
