I'm looking at getting some silicone hose from the forum (when it's back in stock) which has 1/2" i/d to use in my new rebuild system, I will have two tubes one to the inflow of the pump and the other on the outflow with one end fixed to the pump and the other end needs to move along the process ie from hlt to the mt, boiler and plate chiller. I was orginally thinking of just using 15mm compression fittings on the free end so I could simply unscreww from one ball valve and re screw onto another ball valve. I don't need/want a camlock set up yet as too expensive for my current equipment but wondered if there is a better budget way to have inline disconnects? I did also think of using hose barbs but a) I would need a swivel type and b) I don't see the advantage over just using my first idea of copper tubing with a olive and nut. I would need 6 of one (ie male) type and 2 of the other (ie female or vice versa)
