Seal Space Between Cabinet and Countertop

Once the cabinet is installed and the two openings of the cabinet and countertop are aligned, you must 

seal off the open space that will be created above the kegerator cabinet and under the countertop. If this 

open space is not properly sealed, the cabinet will lose its cold air and allow warm air to enter. Similarly 

to leaving the kegerator door open, an improper seal can result in kegerator performance issues such 

as temperature inconsistency, foam problems, and excessive frost build up in certain cases. 

To close the opening you will need to run a short connecting tube from the cabinet to the countertop.  

There is not an accessory included for this connection with the unit.  Common materials for this 

connection include PVC pipe, insulated pipe tubing, or rubber lining material. It is important to form a 

seal between the kegerator cabinet opening and the bottom surface of the countertop. If you use PVC 

or foam tubing, your sealing apparatus may extend from the interior of the kegerator cabinet up through 

the countertop and into the base of the faucet tower.

Note:

 This installation tip applies to front vented, built-in capable kegerator models only. 

Improper installation of a kegerator that is not intended for a built in application will result in 

damage to your appliance.
