I Need to know the length of steel-braided hose I'll need for. --------------------------------------- Ex-Chamber: Dead on. 8 Stage X-core ASA: Dead on. Universal Drop. and (2) 90* Fittings --------------------------------------- Note: I've looked on county's Hose Chart but no one had this sort of set-up. Note*: I dont want to use Macro/Microlines but if its less then what county sells then I'll have to deal with using Macro. -------------

With that setup, you'll need a really short hose (which is almost impossible to work with) or you'll have to use a longer hose and rainbow it.
If you use macroline, put a regular 90-degree connector elbow in the bottom of the x-core. Then, you can use the macroline kit with two 90-degree macroline fittings to get a straight line. ------------- http://www.EZOfficePool.com - Free NXL and NPPL Office Pools, pw: 'gogged' http://www.CountySports.com/shop/news.php - Newsletter - Coupons |

Why dont you buy 500 feet of braided cable then go from there. because buying an excessive amount of steel braided cable is like buying the excessing amount of pointless stuff for youre gun that you did. ------------- To the pope mobile!!

^ good point. I knew that connection was going to be extremly short. Meh oh well. I'll just use macroline -------------

. The only reason i dont want to use macro is because ive had bad experiences with it.Posted By: County

With macroline I've always been fine if it's in a straight line. It's when people try to bend it that we usually have problems. Bending the macroline causes kinks and weak spots.
