The ID of the gas line does not matter much, but 1/4" and 5/16" are common. If you already have equipment or are purchasing equipment, check the size of the barbs. Most of mine is 1/4" ID tubing on 1/4" barbs, with a few 5/16" barbs. 5/16" tubing seems more "standard". The ideal might be 1/4" tubing on 5/16" barbs for a nice tight fit.
I guess I was specifically talking about gas line. instead of a liquid line it will be direct tapped for now.Don't forget you have to calculate line length as well. Too short of a serving line and you have foam city!
Sorry, ok yes that’s what I’m gonna do, as soon. As I find barb ball lock fittings with disconnectsThat's 1/8" wall...
I use 5/16" ID tubing for gas lines (on 5/16 barbs). Secured with Oetiker clamps for 100% leak free.
A lot of use the MFL QDs and just use beer/swivel nuts to connect up. Makes it easier to change things around.Sorry, ok yes that’s what I’m gonna do, as soon. As I find barb ball lock fittings with disconnects
Is this a new system you’re setting up? If so, consider MFL disconnects, Duotight push to connect fittings and EVABarrier lines. Inside diameter and length is irrelevant on the gas side. The size of the keg doesn’t matter either.Just can't seem to fine what I need for a 3 gallon keg, I see there are several thicknesses and can't quite figure out why and what I would want. I want to use with carbonator lid as well.
It’s a new setup, but the N2 regulator has 5/16 barb and co2 has 1/4 barb. Not sure why they’re different, they are Brewrite brand.Is this a new system you’re setting up?

I don’t know what your budget is, but a few modifications in the beginning might allow more options down the road. You could replace the barbs with a shutoff like this, (you won’t need the barbed fittings)It’s a new setup, but the N2 regulator has 5/16 barb and co2 has 1/4 barb.

or a plain 1/4” NPT X 1/4” MFL like this.

Just make sure you know if they are right or left hand threads… most likely right.
yes that's what I meant. show me which faucet I would need for good performance? it's only gonna be that way for the first few batches, figured I'll look for a tower and line later on.I don't know what "direct tapped" means. Do you mean mounting faucets directly on to the black QD with no hose at all? That really doesn't work well at all unless the facuets are flow control type.
Thanks, I ordered one and also their faucet with spring and a bunch of other stuff.This is the only one I’ve seen that advertises that it works with a flow control faucet.
