Beer Line, Gas Line & Glycol Hose for Draft System Builds and Repairs
The right hose makes the difference between a clean pour and a service call. We stock every type of draft beer tubing used in commercial installations — sold by the foot so you order exactly what you need, no waste.
Tubing Types
- Vinyl beer line — 3/16" and 1/4" ID; standard for direct draw and kegerator applications
- Barrier beer line (Bev-Seal Ultra) — BA-approved for long draw trunk bundles; blocks CO2 loss and O2 permeation
- Braided vinyl — higher burst strength for jumper lines and short-run pressure applications
- Polyethylene glycol hose — for glycol supply and return lines in long draw cooling systems
- Gas line tubing — CO2 and nitrogen rated; compatible with standard barbed fittings
Sold by the Foot
All tubing is available in cut lengths. Order the exact footage your build requires — no minimum, no leftover coils. Bulk rolls also available for high-volume installers.
Choosing the Right Tubing
- Direct draw / kegerator: 3/16" vinyl beer line
- Long draw trunk bundle: barrier beer line (required by BA guidelines)
- Jumper lines: braided vinyl or barrier, depending on run length
- Glycol system: polyethylene glycol hose matched to your power pack spec
Tubing FAQ
Do I need barrier tubing, or is standard vinyl beer line enough?
Standard vinyl is fine for short direct-draw runs under a kegerator. Barrier tubing is required by Brewers Association guidelines for long draw trunk bundles because it blocks CO2 loss and oxygen pickup over distance — standard vinyl will let both leak through on a longer run, flattening the beer.
What size beer line ID should I order?
3/16" is the standard for most direct-draw kegerator setups. Longer runs typically move up to 1/4" or 5/16" to reduce resistance, but the right size also depends on your regulator pressure and desired pour speed — if you're building a long draw system, spec the ID against your run length rather than guessing.
