If the hose they showed you at the paintball shop was 1/4" in diameter that's what we call macro-tube. If it's thinner, its call micro- tube. Avoid the smaller size as it ruptures easier. The 1/4" stuff can still rupture but not as much. Buy extra for spares.
I've had nothing but trouble using push-in fittings (slow leaks that cause freeze-ups which block gas flow). Over the winter I updated the Cromwell turret, replacing the two push-in fittings with standard 1/4" brass plumbing compression fittings. I expect to have a more consistent firing gun this season.
