I received my faucets yesterday. I can finally get away from the picnic tap. when using the picnic tap I had to go to 3/16 line at about 8.5 feet long to reduce foaming at 12 PSI. With 3 faucets now I dont want 26 feet of tubing snarling around in the keezer. What lengths and diameters do you guys use for your faucets? I'm so broke after buying those ventmatics I don't want to buy more hose than I need.
 
I use 10-12 feet of 3/16", except for the soda tap which is 20' The lines are coiled, tie-wrapped & sit on top of the kegs as necessary.
 
You're going to need at LEAST six feet per faucet at 12PSI. More is better; slower pour, but less foaming. Zip ties are your friend...
