Go to solution Solved by Maxwit44,

the fittings i am using are compression fittings and 3/8" is smaller then 7/16" thats the reason im asking as i know it isnt the right size but the OD is the same as the collar would need to fit around it

Yeah sorry mate, miss read what you posted. If you can get the collar down on it and can get the hose on, I don't see any reason why you can't. Again apologies.

hey guys i have been trying to find this all over the net and for some reason cant find it.

 

 

my current fittings are 7/16"ID 5/8"OD and i am wondering if there would be an issue if i used 3/8"ID 5/8"OD tubing with my fittings?

i would think that there would be problems with how the tubing fits on the fittings, specifically the tubing would be too big to fit on the fittings causing leaks.

The internal diameter of the hose is the most important part, cause that's the bit that seals all the water in.

Best to use the correct hose on the correct fitting to prevent leaks.

Yeah sorry mate, miss read what you posted. If you can get the collar down on it and can get the hose on, I don't see any reason why you can't. Again apologies.
