5/16 OD Tubing for Kegerator

[jzamora3]

Came across a great deal at my LHBS. Roughly 10 bucks for 100 ft of 3/16 ID 5/16 OD Tubing. Would this be okay to use for liquid out linea? The package says it's rated up to 55 psi.

Also, when balancing a kegerator system, you only worry about the ID right? I know the normal line size is 7/16 but wondering if the calculations and other performance should be the same with this thinner walled tubing. I know kinking might be a potential disadvantage of this Line.


Thanks for the advice!

If it's rated for the pressure I don't see a problem. Just use enough line to avoid sharp corners. With pressurized beer in there I don't see it kinking that easily. Balancing should be the same and with 100' to work with you can make some nice long lines.
