Hey Guys,
I'm starting to think about my sight glasses for HLT and BK.
I've got 1/2" couplers in my kettles, and was thinking about simply using a 1/2" MPT x 1/2" tube swagelok elbow fitting. My question is will the swagelok get a good and watertight grip on the polycarbonate or Pyrex tube, or would a standard compression fitting with o-rings be best?
What is the general consensus on tube, polycarbonate, Pyrex, other? I plan to fashion a protective sleeve out of SS tube to cover the clear tube so I am not totally worried about fragility.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Bryan
