Quick question on beer tubing. Will 1/4" ID tubing fit a 5/16" barb fitting? I'm looking to order my cornie disconnects (1/4") from Northern Brewer and my regulator, Y fitting, and hose barbs (5/16") from BeverageFactory. Can I get away with 1/4" ID tubing?
 
Yeah, you might have to hold the hose under hot water to get it on but it will fit. Also should make a real good seal
 
1/4" tubing is fine for gas lines but unless you are mounting the taps remotely from the keg fridge you will want to use 3/16" ID, thick walled, foam free beverage tubing.
