I'm in the market for some steel braided hose for my marker, but I've got some pretty specific length requirements. My question is, how is the hose measured? That is, is it the complete length of the entire hose including threads? This is what I'm assuming, but I'd rather not assume incorrectly and have to send parts back after I've bought them.

In this case, I'm looking at the 7.5" and a 3.75" lengths available from pbgear.com...those lengths are perfect, assuming the length is measured from tip to tip including threads.

I just did some ss hose on my gun, the threads are NOT counted in the measurement. Also check out palmers pursuit shop online store, go to the fittings section. they have ss hose in many lengths, and also have 1/8 extensions. They are just a small fitting that has female and male ends(they look nice aswell) If you buy a little smaller hose you can use these to fine tune your setup. They will give you about 1/2 extra length. Good luck.
