Pitot/Static Plumbing

[szicree]

I've just started doing the plumbing for my pitot/static instruments using nyloseal fittings and feel like these things are too complicated and seem leak-prone. I noticed that my encoder came with brass barbed fittings and am wondering if this isn't a better approach. Opinions/Experience??

Stock Stuff Worked Fine for me

The stock static system materials worked fine for me.

I haven't had the nylo seal fittings leak, except if i didn't tighten it, but I have had the tubing crack where it gets stretched to go over the barbed fittings.

I bought Nyloflow fittings instead, primarily because you can tighten them down further and they are smaller.
