    Yeah I would also not mind flexible ones. It gets messy quickly with my 4 secondary regulators. I see you get a John Guest bend for lines https://www.johnguest.com/product/ac...low-bend-clip/

    I was also thinking of installing some hooks so that I run them neatly to one side and then distribute again.

      I find the harder gas lines take up too much space, they are too hard to twist into place in a confirmed place and twist too hard and you get a leak.

      Any recommendations where I can get this softer line

        Try Kegsolutions, they have Bevlex line, this is 3/16" not sure how they handle the gas side, but they are for dispensing.

          Just be aware that these do not fit DMFit / John guest push fittings (not the ones that fit onto disconnects, anyway, and I'm not sure one can get those in 3/16). I use this line for dispensing and have to use barbed shanks and disconnects on the liquid side.

            Yeah seems a bit limited, but there are some options here:
            https://beerplus.co.za/category/fittings/225 and
            https://beerplus.co.za/category/beer...es-pythons/224

            Seems 1/2 to 3/8 and 5/16 to 3/8 is more standard than the 3/16 story. They also have some flexible tubing in both those sizes.

            Kegsolutions seems to have some adapter so that you can use it with 3/8 for the 3/16 as well.

              Surely LPG hose line would work? All you need is to visit a hydraulic / air supply shop for various fittings between the barbs and the JG items?

                LPG gas line is super thick though. That's the problem. Bigger holes in everything?

                  Like Jakes said. Normal air line will work for co2. Visit a hydraulic shop.

                    Not necessarily. If you plan your junctions, you can use thin standard 8mm beerline through bulkheads and then use flexible line when needed. I have 5m x 8mm gas line for checking kegs contents in the cold room: I just take the coupler with party tap wherever it needs to go.......I could just as well use reinforced hydraulic air line.

                      It makes sense, but I think it's still a bit overkill. I'm pretty sure most pipes we can get will work just fine for gas as well. You'll probably never go over 3 Bar in the line and that's not a lot of pressure.

                      That being said, I need another keg. Desperately. One is a nightmare, it's almost worse than none.

                        What do you need? Cornelius or Sankey?

                          Cornelius, but pinlock. My stuff is pinlock and I'd like to be able to simply swap out lines. My biggest problem is always having to rush a keg to finish, so I can fill it with the next beer, and it causes me to kinda get "tired" of a beer pretty quick.

                          EDIT: My argument is that if I have 2 kegs, at least I can fill both with different beers, and if one needs to be empty, I can empty the lowest one, for example.

                            Me thinks you need more taps, not just kegs...kop af en commit! Moenie rond donner met een tap/keg nie...

                              Ek verstaan ook nie hoe enige brouer minder as 30 kegs kan hê nie........

                                My neighbour has 4 corny kegs, and two taps on a Snomaster kegerator in his kitchen (he is divorced, so it is allowed), I would say that's a minimum requirement. You have 2 full kegs that you can swop out when the first two are finished, as simple as that.
