I do that. I have a 50 ft stretch of Tygon tubing going from my kitchen to my home office.

You can use a plastic splitter, but it'll have to be replaced every year or so due to degradation by the co2. They're like $2 for 10 of them.

when you say splitter do you mean a manifold for your regulator so you can run the 2 tanks at their own co2 pressure?

Heres the manifold to run 2 tanks LINK

Click to expand...

will work but pressure builds up in the tubing and you loose a small % of the co2. For diy regular tubing is fine.. For pressurized its good to have co2 proof.
