air fittings and other ?s

okay guys, i just got my Chimera frame in the mail. got to say its really nice to look at, havent gotten to test it out yet though :-/
my dilema comes from the fact that the expanion chamber that i got with the minimag can run a hose to the bottemline on the stock frame, but not to the chimera due to the angle/distance from the expansion chamber... it gets there i just cant bend the hose enough to get it connected.

so i ordered a 6'' and a 12'' stainless hoses from my local stores online catalog (paintball wizard) and a 45* and 90* fitting.

my big question is: is it better to even run line to the expansion chamber/gas thru grip(on its way aswell) or do what they did on the Paradum(sp?) classic on The MagSmith's site and run a 12'' hose from the bottomline directly to the valve?
and is there anything special i need to do wile fitting the air fittings? teflon tape the thread and screw it in nice and tight?

also my barrel o-rings broke, do i need to order a set from tuna or can i take a trip to the hardwear store and pick up the same size? (what size is it anyway )

as i type this, iv been up for 43hours.. if its confusing as hell just bear with me

Depends....
are your left handed or right. What side of the your valve is you input? Do you use a warp?
Are you into form or function? Woods or speedball?
For example I am right handed with the valve input to the right. My right hand is mostly on the gripframe so the hose is no bother on the right side of my gun, so I run direct. For a lefty this would be a problem or for a person who is switch shooting like you should in speedball, in woodsball not so much.

Macro Line...You buy two fittings, and trim it to any length you need.

oh im aware that the paradum markers on the magsmith are x-valved and only run on HPA, but i dont have the 300~$ for a x-valve, hell i dont have the money for an ambush air reg/tank. so im running it on co2 for now.
