Onda's article is linked on the main page for those of you who havn't seen it.

Anyway, my question is this:

For those of you with experience in using the copper fittings and connectors, I have a question reguarding the 90 degree fittings.

I looked at the 90 degree compression fittings that Onda demonstrates today at Home Depot and noticed that the way they are drilled makes them pretty restrictive to flow. Compared to the 90 degree bends that require soldering, the compression fittings seem like they might really slow the flow down.

I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on these, and if my thoughts are correct, if anyone has a solution. Basically, I need to make a 90 degree turn right out of my pump, so I need something that has threads on one end, and if possible, a compression fitting on the other that doesn't appear so restrictive as the ones Onda showed.

I looked in Home Depot for about 30min at all the avaliable fittings and didn't seem to find what I am looking for. If anyone has any ideas where I might find a more "rounded" (like the solder 90 degree turns) 90 degree fitting that would have threads on the other end and some type of compression fitting, please let me know.

Thanks,
Jason
