Sanyo SR 4912m gas line length, any advice?

Postby Growler & 1/2 Pint » Thursday Feb 01, 2007 5:18 pm

Hi Guys,

A Sanyo SR-4912m compact fridge just fell into my lap and I'm gonna make the mods to create a two tap system with the taps on the front and a T-splitter on the gas line.

I was just wondering how long the gas line should be for each keg (from the splitter)? And, is there a minimum amount of gas line that should be run from the regulator to the splitter?

Oh, yeah, one final question, how long is a piece of string? :wink:

cheers

lol, I think the piece of string suggestion nailed it! :lol:


You'd want the splitter inside the fridge so you only need to drill one hole in the side.

The line isn't too flexable so I'd say you'd need a fair whack to reach each keg, like somewhere between 1/2 a meter & a whole one for each keg.

Hey Growler,

Get a quick release Y splitter for your gas line. Then you can run the 2 lines in paralell & keep them short & neat.
If you need help, give us a call day/evening 07 32877225.

cheers Ross

thanks heaps for your replies. Thanks for the offer Ross, if I get stuck I'll give you a call.

It amazes me how a few simple ingredients and the resulting alchemy can bring people together from all round the world. Beer, much more than just a beverage, a world in alchoholic union.

Alcohol is why we have civilisation, They started farming so they could make drinks.
