When we built my house/shop 25 years ago I had the plumber install a =
3/4=E2=80=9D water line to the shop and cap it off.  I was going to put =
in the sink and the outside faucet when I got time.  Well,  this week I =
got time

I cut the cap off and test fitted a 3/4=E2=80=9D Tee to start dry =
fitting the plumbing for sink/faucet.  The Tee wouldn=E2=80=99t fit on =
the tubing.  I cleaned it well but the Tee was still too small to fit =
over the tubing.  It looks like he used coiled tubing, or at least =
that=E2=80=99s what=E2=80=99s coming up thru the concrete.  I tried =
several fittings and even cut the tubing lower to see if it was crimped =
or out of round...  it mic=E2=80=99d the same all the way around it in =
several places

I mic=E2=80=99d the tubing and the fitting and here=E2=80=99s the =
results

tubing i.d. is  .882=E2=80=9D which is just over 7/8=E2=80=9D
tubing o.d. is  .900=E2=80=9D  which is just under 29/32=E2=80=9D

a new standard Tee i.d.is .876=E2=80=9D   which ain=E2=80=99t gonna fit =
over .900

if I can find one fitting to get this to standard 3/4=E2=80=9D size =
I=E2=80=99m good to go...

did the old stuff differ from todays standard =E2=80=9C
after researching fittings a little I see that there are several =
=E2=80=98types=E2=80=9D of fittings.... from plumbing to hvac to =
whatever...

anyone wanna try and give me some guidance here... the net is confusing =
and offers little on actual dimensions

thanks
john
