Gas and Beer Line at Lowes?

[Cpt_Kirks]

Does Lowes carry tubing suitable for use as gas and beer lines?

I would like to get some 5/16 ID tubing for CO2, anyway. I need to move my CO2 bottle outside of my kegerator. Come this weekend, I will have six kegs in there and no room for the bottle.

I've read others getting lines there, the only thing I've heard is they're really stiff. Some people will question sanitation, but the right tubing and a little starsan I don't see an issue... For the price I like keeping stocked up on micromatic lines- very flexible, THICK walls (not sure about lowes stuff), etc.

I use the cheap beverage tubing from home depot, it works OK but is a bit stiff. I don't know if they carry anything capable of using for the gas side though. I imagine some of the heavier line would work for that application.

I'm using Bevlex 204 red PVC tubing right now. It's what came with my Midwest keg kit. It's rated for 60 psi at 70*F.

I use the vinyl line from HD for gas, but the line gets stiff as hell. I intend to replace it someday.

For the co2 I use stuff i got at lowes. Works fine for me.

for c02 I use the reinforced vinyl (has the braided nylon in it) from whatever hardware store I happen to be close to.... Ace hardware seems to be cheaper.

I picked up some clear 5/16 vinyl tubing. It's rated for 50 psi at 70*F. We'll see if it does the trick.

They did not have the braided tubing in the right size.
