Purging beverage Lines

[PitsPale]

Is it necessary to somehow purge air from your beverage lines? I'm running at 8 psi with 6 feet of 3/16" ID beverage tubing and there is foam in the beer lines for my new draft tower where the wasn't with my picnic tap that I used before the tower came.

you shouldn't need to purge the air, but sometimes i find that a air bubble will be stuck were the hose meets the ball lock and if you give it a little squeze and the air will work itself out. but more than likely you just need to play around with your serving pressure untill you figure it out. i find that even with the same kegs and same set ups, different beers can be pickey and just need to be a LB or 2 different from the last.

The foam in your lines is beer foam, so the gas is CO2. Not a problem.
