While messing around I noticed my ClearFlex 60 3/8ID x 5/8OD tubing fits very snuggly inside of 1/2" rigid copper fittings. I got some Plumbers Goop, it lists copper and pvc on the package, and claims to be stronger than glue. My plan is to scuff up the inside of the fittings and the ends of the tubing and see how it does. One of mashie's rigs kinda inspired me to try this. I like the look of the copper and also the clean look of the tubing cut to length with out a lotta long gentle curves. If I can get this to work I think mine will even look better, as the tubing is clear and it wont be stretched over the fittings. Another nice thing about these fittings, they are 1/2ID with a radius for the elbow so I don't think they will cause much resistance if any. Well what do you guys think? Will they hold or will they leak? BTW here's a few pics:
and mashie's rig...
peace.
