This adapter has the hose coming out of the front of the adapter and works with the new style flared end hose for Platinum Series. Will NOT work with original 98 Series 1/8 NPT end hoses. This adapter is held to the gun with a short and a long tank adapter screw. If you're putting this on a Custom Pro that previously had a drop forward on it then the stock screws from the drop forward WILL NOT WORK.
