    Default rusty tower screws - fix?

    After installing a tower blower the condensation of the tower has caused the screws attaching it to the kegerator to rust really bad.

    I was wondering if anyone knew of any screws that I can use that won't rust this badly or something that will cover that area of the tower.

    Thanks.

    Stainless steel screws don't rust.

    Either stainless or brass screws should do the trick.
    They're the same materials that are used for the tower.

    What model kegerator do you have that is rusting? I'm worried as mine is constantly sweating now that i've installed the tower cooler.

    I have the Haier dual faucet kegerator.
    I went with stainless steel screws that cost all of $2. Looks good, i'll let you know what happen after the tower has sweated on them for a while.
    Thanks for the help.

    Default sweat

    stainless screws will solve the rust problem. Wrapping the tower with a towel when not in use will help with condensation accumulation. mflemming@comcast.net
