One more observation, Vortex . . .
Maybe the more experienced guys will weigh in on this, but I do not like those nylon ratchet clamps at all.
I only had one pair of them on my setup initially and that was between the two NV-68 blocks.
After I fired things up and had the system running for a week, I developed a slow leak. Can you guess where?
Yep, right above one of those nylon clamps. The clamp would not hold when i tried the next ratchet.
Purchase some Oetiker crimp-on {pinch-on} clamps as you see that I have mostly used or else use automotive type stainless steel Ideal worm-gear clamps.
Cheers,
joe
