Adding an extra tap on 2.5" tower

[jarviw]

I want to add an extra tap, but then realized that my draft tower is only 2.5" diameter...
What would you recommend? Can I replace the old 2.5" tower with a 3" one?

The four mounting screws on the base of the tower are 2.25" apart.

Is this a kegerator that you built or a ******* made one. If home built I'd switch to a 3" to add more taps as the extra lines will likely need the airflow. If ******* built, you will need to evaluate if you can accommodate the mounting.

Thanks for the reply.

It's actually a commercial built kegerator, like a Danby. It does fit two corny kegs -- that's why I want to add an extra tap. It doesn't have a blower for the tower though.
I guess I may be able to make an adapter with plywood... but I am still hoping to find some prettier way to do this.

Cheers!

switch to 3" tower 2 faucet probably cheapest efficent way to go the mounting holes will line up plywood not good for insulating or withstanding humidity and sweating

That's what I was thinking, replacing the tower all together.
Can anyone with a 3" tower do a quick measurement to see how far the mounting screws are from each other?
Thanks!

I replaced a plastic 2.5 " tower a few weeks ago and my micromatic tower matched the holes on the keg box

Can anyone tell me the distance between the base mounting holes on a 3" tower column?
just a quick measurement between two screws? Please?

I just measured, from center to center of each screw, it's between 2 3/4" and 2 7/8"

Thank you so much for measuring!!

looks like it's not going to work for me... 2 1/4" on mine.
