Default Balancing calculations...

Gravity:

.45psi / ft.
3 1/2 ft. between bottom of keg and faucet/spout.

3.5 * .45 = 1.575 psi

Altitude:

1psi / 2000 ft. above sea level
Phoenix is 1117' above sea level
1117/2000 = .5585psi

So....

14
- 1.575
- .5585
= 11.8665 psi

3/16" Beer Tubing is 3psi / ft

11.8665 / 3 = 3.995

So I need approx. 4 ft. of 3/16" tubing.

Does this sound right?

My kegerator came with about 5' of tubing on both faucets.

My suggestion to anyone having issues is to do the calculations to get off on a good footing
