Question 1/4" ID vs 3/8" ID

Would it be possible to fit 1/4" ID tubing onto a 3/8" fitting or is it too much of a difference for it to not fit WITHOUT a seperate fitting..?

id think you need a fitting because even with a good pipe clamp the would be a wrinkle or a gap at the joint

Actually, I think the issue is the other way around--the fitting OD is larger than the tube ID, right?

It might depend on the tubing--maybe others have had experience?

Even if you could stretch it that far, it would be unwise. The most likely result is eventual failure and a massive leak.

a reducer fitting would be around $1 or less at any plumbing supply or hardware store......
