    What is the correct Tubing to use for 1/8 and 1/4 OD Push Connect Fittings? Do strike or BC carry them? I can't seem to find anything.

    1/8" & 1/4" OD tubing would be the correct size to use on 1/8" and 1/4" OD push connect fittings. Battlers sells the tubing but not the fittings, which you can get from Clippard or on Amazon.

    Thats 1/16" & 1/8" ID if you like to think of tubing that way.
    OD = outer diameter
    ID = inner diameter

    Other sources for PTC fittings includes local pneumatic/hydraulic suppliers, Fastenal (somewhat expensive), and some hardware stores. The plastic PTC fittings from Lowes and/or Home Depot will work also (just not recommended).

    6mm OD tubing works with some 1/4" PTC fittings.
