Have you looked at other indoor and outdoor taps at restaurants to see if they've got the same issue?

Does WOB have condensation on their taps?

Yes, there is nothing we can really do.

Thicker rigid foam sandwiched between 1/2” plywood.

Keep drinking till it's all gone then unplug it, duh.

It's SO FUCKING tight inside

What is "Things Ape doesn't get a chance to say on a regular basis," Alex?

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Not worried about the efficiency part, that's fine. In the middle of the humid summer, the taps AND the 2x8s sweat. I'd like to stop that.

The R-value talk threw me off, I guess.

The taps are always gonna sweat, though. May be able to get the wood to not, but the taps are directly attached to the cold.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Yep, more insulation, but I'm limited to something like 1.5" of insulation. So I need it to be as efficient as possible, while still being able to possibly get wet.

You know, if you knew someone that was good with CAD software you could probably sit down with them and design a replacement for the wood that was made of a metal or HDPE skin and insulation inside or something like that...

Who knows, you might even be able to market it

 

[Valve1138]

Put the taps in there own cooled chamber is about the only way they won’t sweat I bet.

Like those fridges with the door in a door.

You guys are seriously fucking bored. Get back to work. Shoo.

I know I feel fulfilled.

Here's a metal 2x8 that you could probably fabricate a new collar with, that would roughly double your insulation capacity.

Just stop.

Just stop.

do these quasi on topic threads suck or what eh?!

Why wouldn't they use that in the first place? Basically metal skin and fill it with insulation, ya know, like how the rest of the freezer is made.

Probably because @fly's definition of "fabrication" includes pocket holes.

Make a sheet metal brake and bend a new top section instead of making it out of 2x8. Then you'll have plenty of room for insulation.

I've no idea how to do that. Also, sheet metal isn't too sturdy. I need to mount taps to it that drunk people can't rip off.

I dunno, with a few bends in it, it stiffens up considerably. Plus if you fill it up with spray foam, it'll be at least as strong as the existing freezer.

could also mount a 2x10 frame around it (taps go through it AND the 2x8 metal insulated home made studs).
