Default My kegerator/beer pong table

I am trying to install a draft beer system in my beer pong table. My plan is to have a draft beer tower on either side of the table with a short piece of 3/16 beer line going into a cooler with a 120 ft coil. I want the keg to be kept in the kitchen about 10 ft away from the table so im wondering if it is possible. If so what size beer line should i run from the keg in the kitchen to the jockey box. Secondly can i use one keg and one piece of beer line run from the kitchen to the table then slpit the line and run the two lines a short distance to their respective jockey boxes. If that wont work is it possible to have two kegs in the kitchen and run them to their own jockey boxes. If any of this is possible what pressure should I run the Co2 and how long will a keg of room temp bud light last at that pressure. I apreciate your time and look forward to your feedback.

Will you be dispensing for a long period of time or just for one event?

Mostly just for one night for a party. Im assuming that the pressure required to make the beer flow properly will over carbonate it if used for a long period of time.

Use two 120' coils under each tower location(place in an insulated cooler - Rubbermaid or Gott water dispenser???) and mount them as best you can to the underside of the table. Mount the towers over these containers with a 3" inch hole in top of table.

To be successful, fill the towers with ice and keep them filled during the event. You may need to use a tube bender to bend the 1/4" OD stainless to make connection to shank in tower.

Use one keg centered under the table (hopefully it fits) using an 898B "Y"fitting on top of keg coupler. Connect two 3/8" ID vinyl lines from this fitting to the coils. Use this shank to connect the two.

Push with 32 to 36 PSIG. Do not put ice on coils until beer you run beer through system.
