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.

I used the CarFlex 1/2 inch, which I agree doesn't seem to correspond exactly to 'our' stuff. Still, 1/2 ID and 5/8 ID clear will fit on it. 1/2 in ID takes just a little stretching. Not too bad if prestretched with a pair of long handled needle nose (nose in) and handles pulled apart. I don't even bother with warming it.
