      Hi Eric,

      The tubing is 1/2″ OD, 3/8″ ID, and Home Depot has a bunch of the fittings for not too much money. They are super simple to use (cut tubing square, insert into fitting, all done). They also have the tubing.

      Most of us have probably replaced the black pastic fittings with brass. Home Depot sells a replacement that screws right in where the pastic ones are.

      Hi Eric,

      The plastic ones screw right in, too, to the headers and so forth. It's your choice. The plastic ones are less expensive and easier to install. But either will work. I don't like using the brass ones because it's something else to corrode. Not that they will in my lifetime, I suppose, but that's just my two cents.

      Either way, you'll be much happier with your installation.
