Tubing and Fittings

[whear]

Hello guys,

Since it's hard to find 1/4" fittings and tubing, I thought of ordering them from US Plastic ( www.usplastic.com ).

For tubing, I was thinking of using flexibles ones:

- HDPE ( http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=23758&catid=707 )

or

- Polypropylene ( http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=22919&catid=713 )

Both can withstand temperatures up to 180-200 degrees F.


However, both need compression fittings rather than insert-on/barbed fittings. ( that's what US Plastic suggests on their site )


I haven't seen anyone using compression fittings, so I was wondering if they're suitable for HHO.


What do you think ?

Any advice will be very much appreciated !

the system im working on is useing this 3/8 poly tubing with the push in connectors. Ive seen people say they have issues with O rings they use in the dry cell itself but I think that is due to uneven pressure and possibly the break down of the rubber o rings. Im thinking I might just seal all the possible failure points with weld on. I guess this doesnt really answer your question at all but youre not alone in the wondering :)

Bump.

Can someone please help me ?

Is it ok to use flexible tubing and compression fittings ?
