Does anyone know what size gas line works with the barbs on the regulator sold by Alex?

Is it ok, pressure wise, to use the soft tubing as that would be more manageable in a small fridge?

iv been wondering this myself, the size i use is 3/16 inch which is perfect for that regulator but its hard and is a nightmare to use in my small fridge and very difficult to get its always sold out on THC shop, what other alternatives are out there?? iv looked for vinyl tubing but cant find it here in ireland and delivery and quantities are ridiculous online from uk or usa

Did someone say group buy?  ;)

You can use soft vinyl tubing for the low pressure stuff. You could go for silicone if you feel flush.
Obviously, JG push fittings work best with hard tubing.

I'm not bothered about JG fittings on the gas side - I plan to use barbs on the keg side as well.

Was wondering about the pressure though.

What's considered high/low for hoses?

I use 3/8" tubing on my gas line, got a double regulator from Alex. It's a bit annoying connecting it to the keg through the collar of the keezer, but it's been connected for 6 months now and I've only moved it once so it isn't that big of problem.
