How to set up your mini kegerator
As shown in the video, drill holes in the fridge door for the Nukatap wall mounts, and a hole for the gas inlet. As all fridges are different we cannot provide dimensions for where to make your holes – all we can say is, measure meticulously and take as much care as possible to avoid damaging the workings of your fridge. Proceed with drilling at your own risk and use appropriate safety equipment.
With your holes drilled, fit the Nukatap wall mounts on the outside of the fridge door, then screw the Nukatap mini taps in place. Push the included Nuktatap Mini Duotight adapter into the rear of the tap, ready to accept the 5/16 beer line. Cut the 5/16 line into two equal amounts, then attach from the taps to the yellow Duotight flow control disconnects.
Insert the 3/8 gas line into the separate hole you made, then gently push the rubber grommet in place to fill any gap. Inside the fridge, attach the John Guest 3/8 splitter, then push two of the included John Guest 3/16 reducers into the splitter. Divide the 3/16 gas line into equal parts and connect to each side of the splitter. Then, at the end of each gas line, use the remaining 3/16 reducer to step the line back up to 3/8 size, ready to connect to the red Duotight gas disconnects. You will need a short (~10mm) length of 3/8 line between each 3/16 reducer and gas disconnect.
For the optional CO2 fitting solution outside the kegerator, cut off most of the 3/8 gas line and fit the John Guest equal elbow. Fit the stem part of the John Guest stem elbow into the 3/8 connection on your regulator, then use 3/8 gas line to connect the two elbows.
When you’re ready to use your fridge, fit the tapping head onto each keg and fill with your amazing home brewed beer. Place the kegs into the fridge and fit the red disconnects to the gas side of each tapping head and the yellow flow control disconnects to the liquid side. Attach a source of CO2 to the 3/8 gas line outside the fridge, then close the door and turn on the fridge to cool. When serving, if you need to adjust the flow rate, open the door and adjust the yellow flow control disconnects as necessary.

Just built this Kegerator this afternoon after another delivery from TMM and Amazon….just need to add the gas line but await a Sodastream bracket to ensure its stable. Great supporting video on YouTube and as the guys say…really double check where you are drilling. Its too small for 5L kegs but it fits really nicely on a worktop ……
