As the title asks, but not quite what you might be thinking. I was wondering how tight I should tighten up my compression fittings, where the tubing fits on. Do I tighten them down all the way, or just til they are tight enough to hold the tubing in place without leaking? The tubing and compression fittings are the same size, according to specs (1/2"x3/4"). I have put the tubing on one of the fittings before, and tightened the fitting down about half way, and the tubing was on tight enough to not move, but I want to be sure.
