Hello,
I have a current single kegging setup with all 5/16" air hoses/clamps. I am adding a second keg, splitting the CO2 with a Y-connector. All my local shops seem to stock 1/4" ID air line fittings (Ball lock hookups with 1/4" ends, line barbs, connectors, etc.)

Given that I will be using the exact same set-it-and-forget-it PSI of 12 for both kegs, is there any problem with using 5/16" CO2 line on one keg and 1/4" line on the other? I assume pressure is pressure but want to make sure. Both kegs use the same beer line so no issues there....

Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
 
Fantastic. My gut feeling was that it would not matter but I didnt want to make any assumptions and cause problems for myself.
