I want to re-do my loop using compression fittings. My question is, will I be able to put compression fittings on the heatkiller to make it look all good ?

What fittings you recommend ?

I dont think you can use the 1/2" ID comp fittings but you should be able to use 3/8"

the heatkiller fits no larger than 5/8" OD tubing with compression fittings, as proven by this picture (16/10 is 5/8" OD 3/8" ID but should work with 16/13 (1/2") as well)

well if the OD of the compression fittings is the same as the straight ones then it should work

if you use 45's even the 3/4" OD fittings will work.

Doh! I wish I had seen your post yesterday morning when I placed an order with Sidewinder. Looks like I'll need to place a separate order for pair of these:



UPDATE: Now that I have a pair of these in hand I can say that the above pictured are terrible compression fittings! It's way too easy for the tube to pull out of the fitting. Bitspower compression fittings by comparison hold on to the tube very well. Now I'm using some Bitspower BP-45R rotary 45s with Bitspower compressions. Much better!

ChielScape

personally i like the looks of the bitspower 45's more, but in either case that's what you need yeah.
