I work in the electrical wholesale trade and am well familiar with the carlon fittings and boxes. Seeing how trade sizes in electric do not correspond to anything in real life, I am curious as to what size fittings with what size tube you are using. I was thinking of making a res out of one of their pvc junction boxes, like an 8 x 8 x 6 or a 6 x 6 x 4. Since it is gasketed, and I would be mounting it feet down, did not figure I would have much problems with leakage. The thought of using the fittings never occured to me. Great idea, whomever it belongs to. I actually saw a post somewhere the other day that someone was using a pvc LB condulet for a res on the back side of their case.
