fitting question

Are both of these PTC? Is one better than the other in regards to the plastic vs the nickel plated brass?

Re: fitting question

both are PTC ... I prefer the plated brass to the plastic ... no reason other than personal preference.

Re: fitting question

I agree with Shane. I ran brass for everything just to be safe. I got all my brass off ebay on the cheap, so it was better all around.

The only plastic fitting I have is the gauge fitting coming out of the tee.

Who did you get it from on ebay? Cheaper than SD?

Re: fitting question

I got my 90's here and my straight connects here. VT Kustoms did free shipping and KoolCads charged me like $5 for all 8 fittings.

Re: fitting question

No prob.

Don't get me wrong, I got a ton of crap from SD, but I got all my brass nipples at Ace Hardware along with all my grade 5 and grade 8 stuff.
