Hi all, I looked and searched and read for a week now and can't seem to come up with the answer to this question. So here goes. Are all fittings created equal? Can someone that know's, tell me whether or not one brand of fitting is better than another? Now, I'm NOT talking about valves. That topic has been discussed at length many times. The flow-rite valves are the least restrictive, period. But what I would like to know is will some brands of fittings flow more water than other brands? I realize that ALL fittings that are inserted INTO a hose will have some flow restriction. I understand that. But, does a brand of low pressure fitting exist where the fitting wall thickness is smaller than some of the others? If the fitting was strictly designed for low pressure then the wall thickness would be thinner and therefore would restrict less water. Anyone run across anything like this? Thanks, -Bo
