My thought was to go with hard lines, bend and flare myself and be done with it.

I've had 3 false starts to this process so far. I THINK I need to use 1/8" line. I can't seem to locate this easily.

Second problem is, once I have the line, do I use compression fitting, or do I flare the line?

I'm not sure what the fittings are called that go in to the filter either, or their size. The elbow connector seems to reduce the size.

Advice or tips?
