Default Warm Keg - Max distance to coil box?

If i have the keg and CO2 in the attick, and want to run a line down to the kitchen to a jockey box, how far can i run the line? what should the inner diameter be? and what psi should i set the regularot to?

I am estimating about 50 feet of line, with the beer at room temp.

Thanks.

Hopefully the keg is pasteurized! If you are utilizing a 120" coil, you should probably start around the low 30s and then increase until the desired flow rate is acquired. 3/8" or 5/16" ID beer line would be acceptable. Preferable use a barrier line for the jumper since this will be much more friendlier to the beer than vinyl. Have lots of ice on hand!

Be aware the use of coils was never intended for long term dispensing. Normally this is utilized for short duration parties and special events.
