Holding PVC pipe in place

[wcj543]

Need some help here…I’ve got the tower tap in place and the pvc pipe coming up from the kegger box, but I noticed the pipe is slipping down. What have others done to make sure the pipe stays in place? Will it hold once I use Great Stuff to seal the edge of the hole inside the kegger box? Should I use a rubber collar that fits over the pipe and sits under the bar top? I would appreciate any help, thanks.

I figured it out. I put a rubber pvc pipe collar on the pipe and used a clamp to hold it in place. The pipe no longer slips down plus you can’t see the collar.

On a side note, I found an easier way to prevent a “hot spot” on the pipe instead of trying to put a 1.5″ pipe inside a 2″ pipe and using Great Stuff to insulate What I did was purchase insulation tape and wrapped the pipe. Not only does it keep the pipe insulated, the aluminum backing is more appealing to the eye than a white PVC pipe.
