Remote System

[Jonny]

I have a dual keg system with a single CO2 with a dual regulator. It supplies 2 1/4 BBLs in a converted food refridgerator. I have approximately 12 feet of tubing per keg from the coupler to single column double tower faucet. I do not believe that the tower has a shank as it came fitted with a standard 5 feet of 3/16" ID hose.

Right now I have the 5 feet of 3/16" ID hose coupled to another 7 feet of 3/6" ID hose. After checking out the micro matic site it appears that I may need to increase by hose diamater to 3/8" ID.

My faucet is about 2.5 feet in vertical lift distance.

Does anyone know if I should increase my hose diamater for this type of system? I have not been able to find the resistance of a 3/8" ID vinyl hose.

Also does the fact that I have 2 kegs have any affect on what pressure setting I need my CO2 regulator set at? My beer is 38 degrees.

Thanks

ouThe 5' of 3/16 should be sufficent the shank is where your beer line goes behind the faucetIf your 2 beers are ales,lagers or pilsners 10-14 should work most domestcs run well at 10-12 imports some times pour better with another pound or 2 guiness or boddingtons are nitro beers and require diffrent equipment.What is the 7'of 3/8 for? it must look like a snake nest in that fridge.You can pour 2 beers off the same regulator with out problem .Hope this helps

The 5' of 3/6 goes down from my bar and into the unfinished area of my basement. Then in order to get over to where the refridgerator is i needed to splice an additional 7' or so of 3/16 ID hose to get to the keg coupler. I just don't know if I should increase that last 7' run of hose to 3/8 ID.

I thought you were pouring directy out of the fridge,how to you keep that additional 7'cold? 3/8 has about 1/2 a pound of restriction per foot not sure about 3/6 off the top of my head.Keeping the line between the fridge and the faucet cold should be a concern? Is the line insulated?
