Default Insulating beer line through the freezer?

I am about to buy a kit and I wanted to know if there is anything I can do to insulate the beer line if I run it through the freezer. I do not want to have to buy a temperature regulator and completely lose my freezer. Any suggestions?

If you run it through your freezer, no matter how well you insulate it, sooner or later it will freeze. Why would you need to do this?

I wanted to put it through the freezer because my fridge combo is only about 5' tall. If I put the tap on the fridge part, it would be very low, and being 6'4" it would be more of an inconvenience. I figured it would freeze eventually but I just thought there might be some special insulation. I really appreciate the input.
Take it easy,
Kyle

Would it be possible to get a tower conversion and put it in the freezer? I would have the keg and the CO2 in the fridge but have the actual tower sitting in the middle of the freezer. Would the beer still freeze if the line is primarily in the fridge?

It would likely still freeze. Mayhaps not in the line, but in the tap.
