Thanks for the insight. I beleve they were ment for hose to slip over and clamp, that was orginally the setup. I,m going to see if i can order something.
I never heard of any expanding tool, that would also be another option. Is there any issue using brass pex fittings in my boat? Cheers.

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...

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 Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device -------- Original message -------- From: T power via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Date: 10/23/17 5:08 PM (GMT-05:00) To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: T power <sv_invic...@outlook.com> Subject: Stus-List 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.
