    Well, assuming you have no ASA, 4 1/8th NPT 90* fittings and some line (not sure on length). You might want to look into a setup with quick disconnect and inline bleed, just to make it easy to service.

      You would need about three or four of these...

      And then two of these... How long do the hoses need to be? Just measure the distance and buy the closest length. (Just make sure you buy hoses that are a little longer than you need. You can bend them to be shorter, but you can't stretch them to be longer.)

            I use a Phantom hardline from the valve to the VA - it looks and works great. The only thing was I had to use a tubing cutter and remove about 1/2" of length from the VA side so that it would fit pretty good. I still need to use a tubing bender and put a bit of a curve in it (below the feedneck) but all in all, I think it's alot better looking.

            I'm still working on a similar setup for the on/off-to-expansion chamber but for now, I'm using the braided stainless.

                it makes its easier to take out your valve

                ude jsut unscrew the back screw and pop the quick disconnect and ur done vs unscrewing it from the valve and wearing out threads and possibly scratching up your valve

                pm me ive got all the parts u need to make your set up work right for a cheap price
