    Default installing a drip tray with drain

    Can someone describe the steps of installing a drip pan with a drain to the top of a Summit Kegerator? It would be convenient to have it since it seems I am always going to be pouring off a little foam. But I want to see if I think I can do it.

    Any pics of the Summit? This would help to point you in the right direction.

    Drill an inch hole in the top and then use a drip tray with a brass drain tube. Wrap brass drain tube with teflon tape and thread into tray. Place brass drain tube into hole and pack plumbers putty in inch hole surrounding brass tube. Tighten the nut with washer onto the brass threads. Silicone around edge of tray if desired. Use 1/2" vinyl tubing with hose clamp to route waste to a bottle in the kegerator.

    OK - thanks. I will refer to this if I get one. I guess I would use a paddle bit or a hole saw bit?

    Based on your material, either will work. Paddle bit would work on wood and most composite material, not metal.
