Hi folks,

I was wondering if 10MM (3/8) Bitspower g1/4 are compatible with
Feser Tubing 3/8 ID - 1/2 OD

and

http://www.feser-one.com/site/product_info.php?cPath=74&products_id=288

I'm asking this because some tubing could have problems with compression fittings due to stiff/hard tubing alleast thats what i read in some forums. (feser compression with feser tubing, but almost everywhere i come i read bitspower are high quality fittings, so i want to use them with feser tubing)
And i want to make sure it all fits neatly before i spend cash on it.

Any one having experience with bitspower compression fittings and feser tubing?

It may seem a noobish question but i have to be sure. Yes they are G1/4 so they should fit........

Thanks in advance

For compression fittings, you must use the exact ID and OD of the tube, otherwise it won't fit. So yes, it will fit.

This thread has some useful information regarding the 2 main types of threads and threads per inch. http://www.ocforums.com/showpost.php?p=5906163&postcount=15

yup as long as the inner and outer diameter of the fittings and tubing match your good to go.

Just to clarify, you can use an oversized barb. In other words, a 3/8"ID tube over a 1/2" barb. For compression fittings, that rule does not apply.
