acrylic tube fittings

so im going to replace my flexible tubing with acrylic, and i just wanted peoples opinions on the different fittings available. i like the look of the normal push in type post-77839-0-48260700-1408609811.jpg 

 

The compresion type gives me more piece of mind in terms of it not leaking or pulling out for whatever reason, and the ability to remove/replace components easier and with out ruining the o-rings as much, but they dont look quite as nice post-77839-0-97633500-1408610036.jpg

 

opinions?

 

thoughts?

Bitspower Multi-link fittings! They have all kinds of great looking, high quality hard tubing fittings for all kinds of applications and uses.

 

Personally. I think thick quality flexible tubing limited to short runs looks great or even better than hard tubing. It's also less hassle. That's me though.

I use the Bits power push in's. They are ok, but you have to ensure that the length of the tube can go the base of the fitting, past the second o ring. Once you can deal with that, they are ok to use. They are bit harder to get done correctly over the compression fitting.

 

Ease of use, go the compression fittings.

I wish I had the money to build a good hardline cooling loop. Had a larkooler for a while, hated it. I buy anything else and it's gonna be an h220x
