  • Tubing Resistance and Draft line balance

    So I have 6 3bbl brite tanks that I'm looking to poor directly out of our cold room. The furthest tank would require about 15 feet of tubing up to the faucet. I would like to use a 3/8ths wall mounted y adapter to have 2 taps pouring the same beer. Does anyone see anything wrong with my calculations below?

    At 39* degrees I'd need 13psi for 2.6 vols of carbonation at sea level and 4ft above racking arm of brite tanks which brings me to 11 psi and gives me 13ft of 1/4 vinyl tubing.

    Anyone have any issues with the regular micromatic vinyl tubing?

    Was interested in the barrier tubing but would rather not have 25 to 30 feet of tubing.

    anyone have the restriction numbers for the 3/16ths ultra barrier tubing?

    any tubing recommendations?

    I have found that not all brands have the same resistance. I would start long and trim down as needed. I use about 9ft 2in of 3/16 id vinyl for our system.

      Use barrier tubing until a few feet away from the tap, then splice in 1/4in vinyl (high resistance) to slow it down it down, then you can run a short length of barrier tubing
