Direct Fit or Jumper line?

Finally, you should decide how you want to fit the coils (or cold plate) onto the front shanks. If you’re using a cold plate you will need to use jumper lines to bring the beer up to the shanks. With a coil, you are able to fit them directly. Sometimes, however, you encounter a situation where the coil does not want to cooperate. (Small coils) In this case you may need a few inches of line, a nut, and a tailpiece to make it the final distance.

There you have it. All the decisions you need to make before you get started. Once you know, buy your parts and get ready to build!
