Planning my first WC build and ran into a problem finding some info.
All of my compression fittings are ID13 x OD16 (1/2ID x 5/8OD)
Is using 3/4OD tubing a mistake? I don't have any to experiment on so I'm guessing that I could "maybe" squeeze it through the outer nut but I'm just not sure if it's going to cut into the tube and cause a dangerous weak point or not.
I also have no idea what type/brand of tubing I should be looking at. Koolance's tubing is my failsafe if I can't find the info I need since all the fittings I have are koolance and they have the proper measurements, but they don't have the color I want for 1/2x5/8.
Thanks.
