OK, if this thread looks similar than you have probably already seen it in the air systems section... I asked this same question, and they said it would probably be a better question for the tippmann section.

OK here is my Q -

I recently purchased an 32 Degrees 2003 6 stage Expansion Chamber for my A-5. I am wondering what size (In inches) braided steel hose I will need for it to fit correctly?

Here is my current gun setup -

Tippmann A-5 with R/T.
32 Degrees 2003 6 stage expansion chamber.
20 ounce Co2 tank.
stalk barrel, stalk grip, and stalk trigger.

AND LET ME NOTE: I don't have any form of a dropforward on my gun, except for the new ex-chamber I have had no upgrades that invovle the gas system.

ALSO, I want to hear only about how long of a steel hose I will need, not about anything else, not even about the rubber hosing, I only want to hear about steel hosing.

With that said, how long of a steel hose will I need, does anyone have a similar setup to mine?

dude... just measure and add 3-4 inches extra.
if you can you should return the expansion chamber and get an anti siphon, xchambers are obsolete, they are heavier, and they dont work nearly as well.

Lay your gun on the ground with everything attached.

Get some string and put it where your hose will be. Cut it to the length you'd need. Straighten it out and measure.
