Terminate inboard end of pitot tube

Building a 9A
About ready to close Left wing. Ready to run pitot tube. The drawings specify how to attach the tube to the probe, but just show the inboard end haniging out in the breeze.
How much "slack" do I leave hanging out, or do I terminate the end on the inmost rib with fittings like I saw on Dan C's site?
Did I miss some verbage somewhere in the instructions?????

I Would Suggest You Put A Bulkhead Fitting In The Inboard Wing Rib And It Will Make The Connection Much Easier. Now Have You Figured Out How To Get It Up To Your Panel?

I have not looked at the bulkhead to panel run yet. I need to look at that for all the "wiring and plumbing" in the wings and where they terminate in the fuselage. Any good resources for me to check out?
