Splitting lines? Pumps or no....

[Higgins]

The 4th opinion has been thrown my way about line splitting.
With 1 keg going to 2 taps. Both taps being quite different distances, can beer lines be split with a beer Y and work properly using only pressure calculations to make sure both lines are at the same and correct resistance. Or does one of the 2 runs, or both NEED a pump? This makes a difference of over $1000 to us so I'd like to hear if anyone has had any success with or without pumps.[:

Thanks in advance

I run beer from serving tanks to 3 different locations without using pumps and have no problems. The bars are on two levels, one the same as the tank (1 tower), and the other one floor up(2 towers). In my opinion, I would avoid using pumps if you don't need them, just because of maintenance. The only time I can see that they would be needed is if the restriction at one of your towers was more than your pressure setting. As long as your system is properly balanced at each spot, it should work fine. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help I was pretty sure it would work without.
Or should I say HOPING it would.
