In Short: What is the maximum distance I can use 3/16ID lines? My longest run, worst case scenario w/ very liberal measurements would be 10 feet of line (from the furthest keg to the nipple of the furthest shank)

Is there any way to make this work, or will this lead to an improper pour? All of the lines will be variably shorter depending on their distance from the shanks, so where should my maximum cutoff be for 3/16?


Long Version: I took a regular Beverage Air Kegerator (4 Keg) and capped off the holes where the original towers were. I then created a new hole on the top left of the kegerator, and attatched a 4" diameter ABS piping with a 17' rise from the counter top of the kegerator.

This leads to a 90 degree elbow that extends approx. 9" through a wall cutout, and attatches to a "T" fitting that is capped at both ends. Holes were drilled along the T to accomodate 3/16ID hoses. The point of the T is to act as a manifold, as to minimize the distance any hose would run uncooled. The short distance of any uncooled hose will be thorougly insulated.

The shanks are attatched to the top half of a wine barrel I cut that will lie on it's side, so the entirem manifold extending from the wall is hidden.
All the customer will see is a wine barrel with 5 spouts.

Cooling will be provided by a 15cfm blower that will blow air directly into the ABS piping. Since the run of the ABS isn't much more than a few feet, and is well insulated, I'm not anticipating cooling being a problem.

Please critique my current setup and give me your opinion/heads up on any problems that may arrise.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for such a long post!
