    Hoses and Fittings on My Raptor

    Ok, Got a new tank, now i need to make it work.

    I have a pro-connect to act as a on/off and i need to get that attatched to the raptor.
    I would like to use macroline because i already have the line and the fitting but if all else fails i could use SS.
    Ok, heres my problem:

    To connect the proconnect to the Raptor i need some sort of straight elbow, do i want a
    "1/4 Male by 1/8 Female Gas Fitting"
    or a
    "1/8 Male by 1/4 Female Gas Fitting"
    to put inbetween the proconnect and the raptor.

    then on the other end of the proconnect to use macroline i need a macroline 90* elbow?

    OR if everything i just said made no sense could you tell me how to use a proconnect on my raptor.

    Edit: and does anyone know how i would get a output guage on my raptor, a elbow tapped for a guage maybe? Where would i get one?
    Thanx

      cause my raptor came with a proconnect and on PBGEAR their like 60 bux so i figured id use it, plus it'll work good for what i need it for.

      I think i figured out how to do it but its gonna take alot of different fittings, still trying ot thing of easier way

          You can't setup an output guage on your Raptor. You're going to need to get a 2-hole vertical ASA and put a LP guage in one side and then an elbow and then a hose going to the valve on the other side.

          Just use a standard 90 degree elbow coming out of the output on the Raptor, run SS line up to the gas-thru, attach your Pro-Connect(PC) to the end of the hose and put the male end of the PC in the port on the gas-thru grip.

          Or... you can ditch the gas thru grip and get one of the adapters used to adapt a remote to an ASA, screw that into the vert-ASA, screw in the male end of the PC and then route your line with the female end of the PC up to the vert-ASA and use the SS hose and PC as a foregrip.

          Many options open to you, just depends on what you have already and what suits your tastes.

            Unfortunatly the raptor isn't being set up on my mag, but instead on my matrix so i cant just get a 2 hole ASA. But i emailed Air America and they said for $12 they would put on an output gauge so i think i'll do that. Really it wouldn't be to hard to hook everything up but last night i was just really confused for some reason I guess cause i wanted to have the proconnect coming directly off the tank(not neccesary)

            o, and DYE-Baller, a proconnect is like a quick-disconnect that shuts off the airflow. Its pretty cool.
