Hi was just wondering what sort of connection do I need for this threaded disconnect to connect my lines to.. also what size beer and gas lines does everyone recommend

think they are 7/16 to screw on to the disconnect got barbed ones myself.as regards beer out line I use 10mm silicon milk hose 5/16 inner bore as its flexible and supple the question is..are you chilling the keg as it makes a hell of a difference for what length you decide on and sometimes its a suck it and see job.mine is around 3 feet and use a flash cooler as opposed to a keezer and I find it to be fine

The threaded end you have in that pic can have either a barbed hose connection or a push fit connector screwed onto it, John Guest fittings are readily available and most folk i think use 3/8th beer/gas line pipe which maybe reduced down to 5/16th at the tap, check your tap connection first. There are plenty of ebay vendors that sell most of what you need, some include pipe with the fittings.

Yeah will be stored in fridge .. so I can add John guest fitting to the treaded end what type do you know it just says has a threaded 1/4 fitting on the site..
 
I just ordered 2 more yesterday to hook up my second keg and tap http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IN-UK-Pai...850743?hash=item35f131f8f7:g:KlMAAOSw~gRVwI6q

I didn't price around as i prefer to get what i need in one go, those grey adaptors are 3/8th push fit that your beer/gas line pushes straight into, you need to check if your tap is 3/8th or 5/16th incase you need a reducer from 3/8th-5/16th or another fitting to put on your tap to take it to push fit piping. Most do reduce down to 5/16th for 1-2 feet to give a better more controlled flow rate.

The tap is 3/16 as is a reducer on it is 5/16th without it on.. so If I buy the same ate of disconnects as you go then put about 2 foot of 3/8 line then a John guest 3/8 to 3/16 and put another foot of 3/16 from there to tap
