Compression Fittings For Rubber Tubing

Hey!

 

Does anyone have any recommendations for compression fittings that would work for rubber tubing (1'2" id and 3/4" od)?  The type that EKWB recommends dont seem to be being produced any more and Im looking for alternatives.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like many people use rubber tubing so its hard to get confirmation on compatibility.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Thanks!!!

Bitspower offer them too. I’m sure there are plenty around. If you used smaller tubing I could get you a bunch for cheap. 
I just go down to microcenter. 
But plenty of vendors, Newegg, frozen-pc, performance-oc, Amazon, eBay.

thanks folks.  I completely new to this but i get it now---any soft tube fittings for 1/2 ID and 3/4 OD will work--for some reason i thought ekwb was implying that ONLY their compression fittings would work.  Ive learned since that this is clearly not the case.  Thanks all

You do need to be somewhat careful of metric vs. imperial.  Is the tubing really 1/2 ID 3/4 OD or is it 13/19mm?  You can get some sketchy fitment if you combine metric tubing...just one of those things to watch out for.  3/8 ID x 5/8 OD I know I've had a leak when I used 10/16 tubing (Mayhem Ultra Clear) with a 3/8  x 5/8 compression.
