I prefer to change over all the fittings on my reactors to the john guest (RO) style push to fit connectors. If you are going to put in a usplastics order get them from there. They are half price of lowes/hd and you get name brand JG.

Run 1/4" or 3/8" rigid poly tubing to the peristaltic pump. Then you use the 6-8" of masterflex tubing.

I ordered some L/S 17, reducing barbs (1/4" x 1/8") and vinyl tubing.

Maybe I'll learn with more reactor experience, but what makes the push to fit JG connectors + rigid tubing so desirable? I can imagine some convenience in quick disconnect, but how often do you need to actual do that? Furthermore, isn't that rigid tubing (used in RO/DI filters) a hassle? Fill me in! Maybe picture?
