In the description they say it's good for use as an "air line". What they mean is that it can be used for both liquid and CO2. But be advised that 1/4" ID tubing will not work well for kegerator applications. The 1/4" ID stuff is fine for gas lines (of any length) or liquid lines if your kegs are located remotely from the taps.

In a kegerator where the taps are within a few feet or so from the kegs the 3/16" ID beverage line is what you need.
 
I used the 1/4" stuff for gas lines because the barbs on my secondary bank are 3/8" and I knew 3/16" couldn't stretch enough. However, you just cannot use 1/4" for your beerline or you'd need to use 20 feet of it to prevent foaming. 8 feet of 3/16" is a better option.
