That's just odd. It should be a standard fitting, are you sure you're just running your standard steel-braid line from your asa to the expansion chamber? ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Most hardware stores will carry brass fittings that will reduce from the line fitting down to the chamber fitting. But is this what you have?

| If that is what you have, and you are sure the hole is improperly sized, then it sounds like a manufacturing defect. I would contact Tippmann, or else who you bought the expansion chamber from, and see about getting it replaced. |

| You might have ordered the X-chamber kit for the custom pro. Go to tippmannparts.com, they have two different kits. One for a 98 and one for a 98pro. |

The hose fitting hole should be the same for both, 1/8" npt. -------------

O.k I read up a bit on tippmannparts.com. It seems the only difference is the length. My bad...
