Hello-
I have had the Summit SBC-490BI installed under my countertop for 7 years. It recently quit so I am replacing with the Summit SBC677BINK. The problem is that I removed the wood top on the original kegerator to make room for me to install a flush mount drain pan with a 90 degree elbow and drain tube leading to my sink. I don't have the new kegerator yet, but it doesn't appear to have that option so my drain definitely won't fit as its an inch taller (34.5") made to exactly fit under a standard height countertop. So my question is...what do I do? I already have a huge hole in the countertop for the drip pan, so it kinda has to stay. I can cut off the bottom welded threaded part and seal it up somehow and then just dump it, but that seems kinda lame. I have read about others who have drilled the top and ran a tube down into a collection bottle which seems do-able, but I have no idea if the new kegerator is safe to drill in the top? A third option is to have a new pan fabricated without the drain as I can't find any online that fit the 12"x5"x.75" hole I have for this one that DONT have a drain thread on the bottom. Anyone have any advice? Anyone ever drilled the top of a summit kegerator like this one?
