1/2 vs 5/8 OD

[Half Life]

Hi guys i'll buy a compresion fittings but i cant decide which one yet. I want ti use norprene tubing but i dont know which OD is recommendable use with this kind of tubing. If i use 3/8-5/8 i'll buy a EK compresion fittings and if use 3/8-1/2 i'll buy a bitspower compresion fittings. Which size do you recommend me? The pump it's a D5S.

Get 3/8 1/2 just for the Bitspower fittings, but remember you might want to get some angled ones for the tighter bends because it's really stiff.

but to be honest , if its soft tubing I wont use nothing but 3/8 5/8

the bending is just much easier and kinkless

fittings for me are just fittings, its all about aesthetic look as long as it fits into your theme than why not

my experience with bitspower and ek are about the same

So why wouldnt you match 3/8 5/8 with Bitspower??....Its what I went with, looks great and easy to work with

Because it exceeds my budget, the tubing it's $1 more expensive per foot and the fittings $2 more per piece.
