Keg Hose Question

[Orpheus]

I can't believe it, but I went to the LHBS today and asked for new hoses for both my cobra tap and the line out from the CO2 tank.

Well, I got home and there's only one hose and I don't know which one it is. It is clear and says, "bevlex 200 by Kuriyama PVC Tubing NST-51"

Does anyone know if this is for the cobra line or the gas line?

Bevlex 200 is a very high quality food grade beverage tubing that is thick walled and can be used for both liquid and gas applications. The NST-51 means that it is listed with National Sanitary Foundation. What you need to find out, and it should be written on the tubing, is what is the inner diameter of the tubing? If it is 3/16" ID then that would be best for your cobra tap, and could be used for your gas line as well. If it is 1/4" ID tubing than that would be for your gas line. If you used it for your cobra tap you would need a very long length of 1/4" ID tubing to keep your pour from coming out like a fire hose full of foam.

Thanks John!

It's 1/4" ID, and there's about 7 feet of it. I'd assume this means it's for the gas line then.
