Default Nitrous line

Im pricing out the parts for my nitrous setup, how do I figure out what size braided line I should get? -3 AN.. -4 AN.. -6 AN.. It's a small setup, so im assuming I can save money by getting the smaller, -3 AN diameter line? The sizes that the -4 AN sized line comes in are more accomodating for my setup plans however. My bottle will have a -4 AN output.. so now that I think of it, I should go with -4.. i think..

After the nitrous solenoid, I have the supply going into a T then 2 short lines going to the foggers, should I use ss braided on that as well, or a hard line?

I've never worked with hard lines before, can I get by using a small hand bender, I think N.O.S. sells one, if not NX does. I keep loosing track of the sizes I need, the bottle is -4AN, the solenoid is 1/8, so I figure using a -4 AN ss line into a -4 AN -> 1/8 NPT adapter [into solenoid]... still havent figured out this side. I need to supply a T and the 2 foggers after the solenoid.

You'll be fine with braided hose after the solenoid. Most kits use a -3AN after the solenoid, and -4AN from bottle to solenoid.

I cant find a small enough size in the -3AN. There are 6'' sizes in the -4AN, thats the lowest they go. -3AN stops at 12'' , atleast thats all Summit carries. I figured the hard line would be more flexible (not literally, I mean with sizes and shapes) if I bend it myself, but I would really prefer ss braided.. less work and hassle for mah
