Sanitize old Co2 lines

[aredling]

I recently acquired a Ball Tap setup and an extra 10 lb CO2 tank so that I can start to use 1/2 barrels in addition to my Corny setup.

My question is this:

The C02 regulator and lines are quite old. I have read that a lot of people don't bother with sanitizing these lines when they are new. I think the last time these were used was probably 5 years ago.

Would the general consensus be that I should just replace the lines and just move on? That is more or less what I am thinking at this point.

The line itself looks clean. What about the regulator and the actual tap, I would think i should atleast dunk these in a bucket of starsan and also be done.

I don't want to funk up a whole 1/2 barrel of good beer.

Thoughts?

I've never sanitized my regulator and gas lines. I don't really concider it important. I suppose if they got some nasty build up in them somehow, I would. Lines are so cheap though, you might as well replace them.

As for your tap...yes, you'll want to sanitize that.
