Condensation
« on: May 05, 2017, 09:50:33 am »
If I want to swap my 3/16" gas line for a 1/4" gas line from C02 cylinder into kegerator, I will have to make a larger entry hole into the kegerator. Will I need to silicone seal the new larger hole to prevent outside air from getting into kegerator? Will duct taping the new larger hole be sufficient? I don't want a condensation issue in the kegerator.

I would use a touch of silicone to seal.

Are you moving the tap further away so you need a longer run?  Be careful or you will get lots of foam.

Gas line, not liquid.
