The easiest type of fittings to use are the push fit type. PIRTEK or ENZED should have some. With these type of fittings, you push the tube into the end of the fitting and it locks in place. Then you just screw the fitting into the tank/socket. They work well and can be re-used--make sure you tell the shop if its imperial or metric size that your after when purchasing..
