Thanks, I appreciate the reply and photo!

My mini fridge kegerator has limited vertical height. In the past, I've used low-profile couplers, but I made some adjustments and can use a regular size coupler with either a 90 degree coupler elbow, or an elbow tailpiece. Anyone have any experience that would lead to one choice vs the other? TIA

Thanks for that detailed information! I appreciate the specifics, I built the kegerator three years ago and don't have room to brew, which means I only deal with the details when something goes wrong, or when I'm changing out parts, such as I am doing now. Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply. I have 3/16" beer lines, which I thought was standard. :eek: On the faucet side, I've read that you can (although not easily) get the Ultra 235 over the 3/16 barb. Your solution would be plan B, I suppose, but I also was concerned about turbulence. What type of...

Hi - I'm looking at replacing my mini-fridge kegerator vinyl lines with either Ultra Barrier Silver or Bev-Seal Ultra lines. The 'silver' option is easiest and I've seen pros and cons. If I go with the Bev-Seal, my question is how do you attach these lines specifically in a mini-fridge...

Thanks, from the replies sounds like I'll try Taprite.

I have a standard MicroMatic Dual Regulator: https://bit.ly/2WQz0oE that I am replacing. Any suggestions on different brands, or specific products would be appreciated. This one has been ok, but I think the second regulator (on the left) has not ever worked that great. It has always had pressure...

Thanks for the replies. Perfect Pour was a vinyl line I found on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017EA5ST6/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 I haven't had any problems with taste issues, so I will try this or other vinyl, first at 12' and see how it goes.

I've read a bunch of posts, reviews, etc. on the various types of lines and there doesn't seem to be consensus, but thought I would ask for opinions on if there is a difference in upgrading regular PVC to one of these poly lines. In my two tap kegerator, which I keep at 36 degrees and 10-12...

Thanks for the replies! Yes, Kevin, I was referring to the beer line clamps on the shanks, since several posts earlier in the thread showed photos with no clamps. I went ahead and cut the pipes near the bottom of the shanks and installed with clamps.

Hi - sorry if this seems unrelated, but I am doing a wine cooler conversion and have added copper pipes for cooling the lines and it seems to be working well on a test run (kegerator filled with cases of water). My copper into the tower runs up to about 1/2" below the shank, since I was trying...

I am finishing up a wine cooler conversion. Initially, I bought a 'knob-type' thermostat from the manufacturer that was used in their mini-fridge and it worked fine, but the level of control over the temperature was poor, so I ended up getting the ITC-1000 and hard wiring it to the fridge...

Terrific, thanks for the quick reply! I will give them a try.

Johnny - just curious if you have the sulfur smell issue with your 650SS taps, as described here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=575364 Was getting ready to place order and saw this :(

Hi Johnny - thanks for the reply. I was planning on getting the Perlick 630, but will change to the 650 with the flow control!
