Newb keg setup question

[stuartf]

Hey, setting up my new kegerator and wanted to check about splitting the co2 line. I have a 3 font kegerator and need to split the line from the reg to each keg, i have the t junctions etc to do this but does the length for the gas in line matter? I cant see that it should but ive been known to be wrong before. I'm sure this has been asked before but couldn't find any information on it, feel free to direct me to an appropriate post if so.

Length won't matter for gas line.. Beer line will though

Thanks, yeah need to work out my lengths for that, got all 5mm id beer lines for that but just started over thinking things and thought if better check about the gas.
Cheers

I use thicker lines for gas, just because it's easier to squish the fuckers on.

Line length won't matter much for gas in terms of performance. However, from a practical point of view, you probably want to put one of the gas disconnects on a longer bit of line so that it can reach outside of the kegerator. That way it's easy to pull out the disconnect and purge the keg, etc.

Good point, I made sure I did this with mine. Makes life easier.
