3/16" Draft Tubing – Heavy Walled PVC Beer Line (Sold by the Foot)

The Preferred Choice for Beer Lines

Our 3/16" Draft Tubing is the industry standard for homebrew draft systems, offering optimal restriction for short-run beer lines. With 2.2 lbs of restriction per foot, this tubing helps maintain proper flow and prevents excessive foaming—ensuring you get the perfect pour every time.

Best for Short Beer Line Runs

With a 3/16" inner diameter (ID) and 7/16" outer diameter (OD), this tubing is ideal for shorter beverage lines (5–10 ft.) commonly used in kegerators, keezers, and jockey boxes. The higher restriction eliminates the need for long beer lines by balancing system pressure.

Fits Standard Barbed Fittings

This tubing fits 3/16" and 1/4" barbed fittings. For 1/4" barbs, soften the tubing with hot water before installing to ensure a snug, leak-free fit.
