I tried 5/8" hose and it was too thick to get thru the space I have... then 1/2 tube with the same result.. Last try was 1/2" SS tubing bent in desired shape with tubing on each end to attaching fittings, which is gonna work with one exception... I'm having
to reduce from 5/8" tube to 1/2" and add an adapter. That's not a problem but all the clamping is the problem. Typical screw clamps take up a lot of room and are hindering my route. I’m having to go around the end of the a/c unit next to the kick panel and
it's tight over there. There is no room for the clamps where I need them.

option is using wire clamps from a clamptite tool. this tool is easy to fabricate (and not spend 60 bucks) and from what I've seen at the car shows they do make a nice tight secure clamp on the hoses... using stainless steel wire .062 .</font></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family:; white-space:normal; word-spacing:0px; text-transform:none; float:none; color:; orphans:2; widows:2; display:inline!important; letter-spacing:normal; text-indent:0px; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; text-decoration-style:initial; text-decoration-color:initial"><font color="#222222">.</font></span></font></font></div>

a question for the plumbers/pipefitters that have worked with PEX... if I use standard barbed fittings do you think the Pex crimp type clamps will hold and be leak proof... this will be in an non-accessible place when complete so I’m looking for foolproof.
