Connecting hoses

[paintballfiend]

I never instaled hoses or fitting before on a marker so I want to know what I need to connect my ASA directly to the valve. Also, what parts do I need to do this?
Thanks,

First you need to decide what kind of hose/tubing you are wanting to use. Either micro, hardline, or ss braided hose.

For a micro you will need. 2 90degree fittings for microline, and about 6-7 inches of microline. On these you will screw the fittings on the input, and output holes, and slide the microline in the fittings

For hardline you will need to find out what kind you want (ie alum, ss, etc). If you decide to go this way I can help more, but dont feel like typing it all out right now

For ss braided hose you will need 2 90s, 1male &1 female quick connect, and the approiate length of tubing.

All fittings should be 1/8 npt 27. You will need to use teflon tape on all fittings. usually a time or two around the threads should be sufficent. Go slow to make sure that you dont scratch your body/asa.

If your still confused Ill get pics to explain, but right now my digi camera is dead

I don't want to use microline because the steel hose wouldlook better on my mag. If you could explain it more and maybe recomend some sites that sell these parts that would be greatly appreaciated.

what kind of mag are you using? a standard automag??

[MANN]

which asa are you tring to attach. The verticle one, or one on your frame. Is it a drop or direct bolt on?

Yeah, standard mag with the asa bolted directly on the frame.

Yeah, standard mag with the asa bolted directly on the frame.

I thought the same about the braided hose, but after installing it and playing with it I went back to macroline. It's just easier to work with.

yeah, that got me thinking. Micro line is way easier to install and my mag already has the fittings for it. It has two hoses, one coming from the valve going to the gas-thru grip and one coming out the gas-thru grip to the asa. How much micro line would I need to connect the valve directly to the asa? I have a benchmark trigger if it helps.

about a foot.
