Alright, I just need to be completely certain on this.

I just realized that the reducers I bought for my "radiator" are too large, i.e. they're measured for plumbing applications and don't match up with brass piping which is 2" OD, not 2 1/8".

They sell 2" ID fittings at refrigeration stores right? Because refrigeration tubing is measured by the OD, correct? So my 2 inch pipe would fit a 2 inch reducer right?

I'm not sure you will get them in refrig size either?
I have just scanned through four suppliers books and all they state is 2 1/8 inch fittings or 2 5/8, no listings at all for 2" fridge pipe nor fittings so I am not sure you will find them or am I rambling about something totally different :confused:

They list by OD... 2 1/8 is 2" ID. I got some at United. Unfortunately, I've gotta do a bit of grinding to get them to fit.
