The only problem is black tubing adds flow restriction.
those look super sexy, there will definitely be a market for them :up:
Seeee..... I had forgotten about that since I haven't used a plastic fitting in awhile, I usually just cut them out, which defeats the part of the appeal of compression fittings for easability.Quote:

The fittings and compression rings will EXACTLY match the tube color. They will also come in several solid colors and compression rings can be matched to anti kink coils. Mix and match to set your loop off or go stealth...
The best part for the performance only people is that the low radius L, Y, and True T are a lot less restrictive. Yes there will be a straight T of course also.
oooohhhh ... pretty. Can I get some pink ones?
Seriously ... I do think they look very nice, and I can certainly see some applications where these would be great. Before my last build, I googled all over to find some decent polycarb fittings for drains - chemical warehouses, medical supply sites, etc. Couldn't find anything reasonable. This looks intriguing.
Martin's tests showed the darker the tubing color the more restriction it add to the loop.Quote:

There may also be lower diameter converters for the SFF guys like a 1/2" ID "Y" that splits into two 1/4" ID or 3/8" branches to keep the pressure up over two lower diameter lines. The entire goal is to have fittings for modders that give them a wider range of choices beyond the motor home plastic and hardware store brass we started with.
That must be why I can't pee as far as I used to...better quit the all over tanning I guess.Quote:

The first set are in production currently and those are pictures. The rest are tooling up (designs already approved and molds being made). You could buy a new car for what the tooling costs for just the first set so I guess they do them in stages. Glad it's not me paying for it.
EvilVision did the renders cause he is just bad ass with Maxwel =)
The fittings look amazing.
Geno is blowing up, i love this :banana::banana::banana::banana: man. Looking forward to the typhoon, ghost fittings and now these bad mamajammas.
I have a new word for you:Quote:

haha they are on sale but the only way to get one is to have your retailer or yourself go pick it up from their warehouse. they dont ship it :p: (oh and its not even strong enough for a quad from what ive heard)Quote:

seriously though why the attitude? if they work then great they look awesome but if they don't then you don't have to use them. You take such a fanboy stance on an unreleased product like its not even possible that they work. :down:Quote:
