I'm re-designing my aero setup to resemble a colliseum-type grow. I do not want to have to hard plumb all those little sprayers with PVC. At all. Way too many fittings. I've seen that a lot of people use the flexible high-pressure tubing (the yellow kind like Lowe's sells) and poke holes and insert the tubing into it. This is high pressure (I have a 2500gph pump for ~90 sites) -- how does the small diameter tubing connect into the larger flexible tubing? I'm sure there are little plastic pieces, but I don't know what they are called, and I don't want to buy a big pile of the wrong thing? Will someone please simplify this for me? Thank you! | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I dont have links to this type of hardware & dont know the name of the connectors, but there are lots of options. I bet even a lowlife hardware ctr (Home Depot) employees can find what you need (nothing personal to employees, but I hate Home Depot they screwed me in many ways, so I have personal issues with company...not the employees).

![]() ![]() ![]() | I'm not totally comfortable with asking the lowe's guys about it because they tend to want too much information from me. I always end up just telling them nevermind and finding it myself, just to keep myself unnoticed. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() | Yes, I have. I searched for hours and didn't find any real information. I just kept finding parts lists but I'm not really sure which part I'm looking for. killer: it's the big yellow stuff -- the high pressure lines. Maybe 3/4" I haven't bought it yet | ||
