Macro Line is great. You can easily take it off without un-screwing anything. And you can cut it to the desired length. And as long as you install it right, it won't leak.

   Well, the first, and most important thing is that you need to make sure it's long enough. Some people cut it too short, causing leaks.

   To first start out installing it, insert it into 1 of the fittings. Push the Macro all the way in, then tug on it a little. It should NOT come out when you tug on it. If it does, it's not installed all the way (*Note-if you hold on to the fitting, it will come out, because that's the way to dis-install it. So don't hold the fitting while tugging it).

    Now that half of it's done, it's time to move onto the next half. Next, it's time to make the cut. You going to want to lay the Macro the way you want it. Then, cut it at the back of the fitting (laying the Macro over the fitting). Remember, it's better to make it too long than too short. Then install the 2nd side, and you're done!

if you have a weird bend that the macroline will have to travel then you might want to stick with your steel line..especially if you use co2...i had a drop on my old cocker which obviously came out the side of the on/off then had to go into the bottom of my regulator and even with the right elbow fitting it still put alot of stress on it and it leaked....i got fed up with it and put a steel braided one on there and it stopped.
