If you are installing the tower on a surface other than the kegerator top, you must use the necessary hardware to drill 
holes for screws and beverage lines. Follow the tower flange dimensions outlined below to match the screw positions on 
your surface. Visi

If installing the kegerator under a countertop, ensure you have the proper amount of air circulation around the kegerator 
with no obstructions. If the top of the kegerator touches the bottom of the countertop, seal the gap with caulk or silicone. 
If there is a gap between the top of the kegerator and the bottom of the countertop, you can create a spacer using PVC 
pipe and seal around that. Drop the line beverage line and power cable through the countertop and spacer and attach the 
tower to the countertop.
