Insulation

[etherscreen]

I have a True kegerator that I am going to attach to granite. There will be a 2-3 inch space between the True keg hole and the hole in the granite. What is the best way and easiest way to insulate the lines going to the tower. The True Kegerator is suppose to have an insulated tower but I would like to seal the space between the granite and kegerator holes.

I would just use a piece of PVC or thick rubber tubing. You can then further insulate this by using the tape insulation.

I am wanting to do something like this, can you post or send pictures

Thanks

A guy I work with used a small tire inner tube between the top of his kegerator and the underside of the counter.
The rubber / air combination is a great insulator and the flexibilty of the tire allows for any expansion/ contraction movement.
Alternatively, as someone else stated, you could use PVC pipe and wrap it.

Hey, we used insulation tape, you can find it at any homedepot or lowes fairly cheap, like 8 bucks for 50 feet. we were putting it into our towers and used a car antenna to move it into place without touching the sides, then patted it down with a tap handle. a ruler would work well. you can layer it up too if there is space. it was way easier with two people.

So -- how are you going to attach the tower to your granite counter tops? I'm using granite tile for my bar and I'm wonder how to attach the tower and also how to insulate between kegerator and the tower -- pix's would be WONDERFUL!

These flexible couplings have worked in these applications. Requires some creativity as to securing to the top of the kegerator and bottom of the bar. Wrap the outside with insulation to maintain temperature.

I used those rubber couplings as well. However, I used them differently. I used piece of 2" PVC (outside diameter 2 3/8") to extend from inside the kegerator to the top of the tower. I used a rubber cap from HD to top off the PVC, and used the rubber coupling inside the kegerator to deal with the small gap between the PVC and the hole.

It required a bit of work to get the PVC pipe cut down the fit around the tap holes at the top of the tower, but it works quite well.
