What Beer Line or Hose Size Fits the Cornelius/Corny Keg Barbed Quick Disconnects?

Question

I'm needing hoses to run to and from my barbed ball-lock quick disconnect on my cornelius keg.

Answer:

For dispensing, 3/16 is preferred for short runs, as it has higher internal resistance. That is, you can use a shorter line and achieve the same drop in pressure as a longer length of 1/4 line would provide. — FishesCycle, Jan 9 '14 at 15:19
Ah, this has some important balance between serving pressure of the beer vs carbonation correct? Can you help me find a suitable Q&A to link with ? — Another Compiler Error, Jan 9 '14 at 16:11

I believe it is 1/4 Inch (6mm) Inside Diameter pipe, but you should also be able to force a flexible 3/16 (5mm) ID pipe over it.

There is no need for reinforced hose if you are using proper beer and gas line.

I guess some boiling water to stretch out the 3/16.
