CO2 Tubing?

[IwanaBrich]

I'm currently using braided hose for the CO2 lines in my kegerator, but they are just too stiff when cold. Unfortunately it is the only type the my LHBS has, so I have to order on-line.

I'd like something more flexible, can anyone make a suggestion?

Thanks!

I use 3/16" and 1/4" beverage line for gas supply hoses. They're clear, so I can see if there's any backup.

If you have 5/16" barbs on your regulator, use the 1/4" hose, 3/16" won't fit. Dip the end into boiling water to slide them over the barbs.

Ritebrew 3/16"
Ritebrew 1/4"
They also sell 100' rolls.

I use 5/16". Cause...well, red is cool. LOL. But this is what I use with the 5/16" barbed swivel nuts.

I use 3/16 thick wall line all around (beverage and gas). Makes it easier just dealing with one size of barbed swivel fittings, and I can keep extra fittings on hand. Can also buy tubing in bulk and use for either.
