Default Tailgating

Hi,
I'm looking to build a customized coil cooling system for tailgating parties and such.
I would like something similar to a regular jockey box system, however I want to hide the cooler, keg and CO2 cylinder in some kind of box so it would be out of sight (but with easy access of course). Instead of having a faucet from the cooler I would like to have a beer tower.
For this setup I’m planning on using the 120’ coil and a 3” Column, single faucet tower.

First of all, will a setup like this work, or will the tower connected to the coil result in foam problems?
What kind of hardware (shanks or whatever) will I need to connect the tower to the cooling coil?

Appreciate your help

You will get foam if you use a tower like that. You would be better off putting a hole in whatever you build so the shank from the front of the jockey box comes through. Then you could put the faucet on and not see the jockey box.

The only way to prevent foam would be to fill the three inch pedestal with ice and continually add ice as it melts.
