I know that the most common ID for beer lines is 3/16" but what is the common OD? I got a starter keg kit from the LHBS which included short 3' beer line. After reading a ton here I went to Lowe's to grab a bunch more just to be ready to go to 10'. But the Lowe's stuff is 5/16" OD and the LHBS line is a much beefier 7/16" OD. Since I cut the Lowe's stuff to custom length I probably can't bring it back. It's only a few bucks but I hate to waste the stuff. But I'd hate even more to have line problems from the start.
I'm guessing the 5/16" stuff isn't tough enough to handle the connections since it takes quite a bit of stretching to get them into 3/16".
