Sanyo Kegerator 2.0

Post by lexuschris »

Heyas,

Not sure if this is helpfull to anyone, but since I've learned so much from other's examples... here goes.

After converting my Sanyo 4210 counter refrigerator to a 2-tap tower kegerator, I had a few issues to resolve inside. How to get the CO2 canister in there, and proped up to maximize space? In addition, I got tired of digging around for the gas control valves, and unused gas/beer tubing.

So, I ended up using those stick'm cable clips from Command(tm), and some velcro strapping (both from Home Depot/Lowes).

For the canister, there is a partial ledge in the back corners. It is just too small to balance the canister on its own. So, I stuck 2 cable clips on the right-side wall of the kegerator, and then used a long length of double-sided velcro (found it in a roll of 25 feet or so). Sliding the velcro through the clips, I made two retaining straps to keep the canister on the ledge.

Then, for the hose management, I just put the cable clips on the ceiling, and used small loops of velcro to hang the gas & beer tubing. Now, I can easily get to my gas open/close valves, and also manage my connects to the 2 kegs. :)

The stick'm seem to last a long time. I've been using the canister clips for almost a year...

FYI ...

p.s. Yes, my kegerator is currently empty. :( I tapped out. So, a good time to organize a few things & clean my tubing! My kitchen is in remodel hell, so I have not had a chance to brew easily. I do have the SCHF brew to keg tonight... will put that in to carb up for the event!

I sure hope so!

Get this, I got it off some dude... traded him a bunch of old copper tubing for it. And it wasn't even straight tubing! It was all coiled up.... useless... ;)
