Isn't there a tool you can rent that expands the pex which then has memory and
returns to original size? Seems I saw that on This Old House.RonWild CheriC&C

Hit send too soon. Maybe you could get a pex by barb fitting and go with a
short piece of hose from tank to the adapter then go pet from there. I know,
not ideal but could get you what you want...

Stus-List fittings for water tank
You should be able to find a compression fitting that would work. Plumbing
pipe size is the inside diameter. Compression fittings go by outside
diameter. What is the tank made of? The tubing sticking out may be meant for
hose too go over and clamp

fittings for water tank
Hi Everyone,
I have a question that I'm struggling with. I have a 1973 C&C 30 MKI, there is
a water tank under the vee berth and under the starboard settee.
Both tanks have two small tubes protruding out about 2 inches. From I can see
they look like copper tubing, I'm wanting to change the tubing over to 1/2 inch
pex pipe. I ordered pex reducer fittings (3/8 to 1/2) to go over the copper
tubing. When the fittings arrived the 3/8 size was too small and the 1/2 inch
size was too big.
Not sure what to do. Anyone have any ideas on how to tackle this problem.
Ultimately I would like to change everything to 1/2 inch pex. I looked at the
tank and I think I would destroy it if I tried to take the copper fittings out.
Cheers,
Tom PowerInvictusC&C 30 MK1Fredericton,
