Question about barbed tube fitting

VotTak · 03-01-2002, 05:53 PM

I'm thinkning about Hayden 676 radiator and read the article on this site about installing this radiator on the top of the case. Nice... will do the same ...
QUESTION... where to get those "compression fittings" ( I know about http://www.mcmaster.com/ but what is the type ... like is it "Kynar (PVDF) Compression Tube Fittings" or "Acetal Compression Tube Fittings" or what?

BTW: What is the difference in between "tube", "hose" and "pipe". English is not my native language....
Thnx

tube=hose=pipe they are just all the same thing

Sorta

Tube=Hose I could agree with. Pipe is usually used for rigid items (i.e. copper pipe), whereas the tube/hose monicker is usually used for flexible items.

tube is something that isnt a hose or pipe =)

hose is usually a tube with reinforcing mesh (read that on mcmaster)

and pipe would be very ridgid. usually metal or hard plastic.
