I think I'll use a DHI 36" line to connect it to the pressure line. The guage is a a must as you will always know the system status. In addition, you will be able to know the pre-charge of the accumulator. As you know, you cycle the flaps to bring down the pressure and it will suddenly fall off to zero. The pressure at which it falls off is your accumulator precharge pressure. The guage sold by A/C Spruce is a Mill std unit and costs $215 plus tax and freight. I plan to mount mine under the emergency hand pump handle on the fwd face of the spar box. A good flex line like the DHI 36" one will work well. I'll install a Tee fitting just aft of the nose gear well below the hyd quadrant.
