Kegerator under worktop

[Bristol]

Hi all, I'm planning to install a kegerator in the kitchen, using an undercounter fridge. Ideally I'd like to use tower taps on the worktop above but I'm worried how I would keep the beer lines and inside of the tower cool if it's not mounted directly to the fridge.

Any ideas?

I would give something like this a go. I suspect you'll be using 3/16 line from fridge to tower, which will be quite flexible.

Yes will be 3/16" lines. I'm toying with the idea of trying to seal a 2" pipe into the top of the fridge and the worktop. Can hopefully make a single fridge and tower volume that way but was hoping someone had solved this before me!

To be honest, that was my initial thought before I went in to the "if I were doing it myself" mode, where I decided I would have the 3/16 fed out of the drain hole and lag all the way to the tower.
The reason I prefer that approach is:

• No drilling or making holes in fridge
  • No risk of damaging cooling lines
  • Can be used as a fridge in future if desired
• The fridge can be moved (for cleaning etc)
• Ease of construction

I totally get that I have given more advice than you were looking for

I used this in my beer tower. Perfect fit and leaves enough room for beer lines. Incidentally I use 4mm ID x 8mm OD EVA Barrier for my beer lines.

All advice is welcome, thanks

Thanks, I'll have a look at that once the tower arrives!
