When are cheap Ebay AN fittings acceptable?
Now, i would never run fluids under pressure through them (oil, fuel), but what about valve cover vents? I need -10 hose ends for my venting setup, and going with Ebay crap saves me $60. Yes, i'm a cheapass. Yes, i'm willing to not save the $60 if it saves my car from spontaneously exploding.
My reason for considering this is that these lines are going to a vented can anyways, and there should be very little to no pressure through these lines.
So... would the car go up in a huge explosion if i were to use ebay hose ends in this application?

What? Which type of hose end are you looking for? This Style?
[edit]
Ehhhhh nevermind. Still ~$30 more with the 90s and shipping. Bummer.

Yeah, I use plumbing monkey for all my fittings. They arent as fast as summit if you needed a part yesterday. But you cant be the prices on legitimate name brand parts. They actually affiliated with a real industrial fitting distributor, so if you want to order like 100 of the same fitting, or a couple hundred feet of hose, their industrial partner might be able to get you a better deal.

Now the catch is that the PlumbingMonkey stuff is actually legit parts.
Very cool, though... i may just order all my -6 through them to make up the difference at the same time, actually.
Oh, and forgot i need two -10 female caps.
Thanks for the site link!
When you say they aren't as fast as summit (I get stuff next morning from Summit), just how much slower are they? I'm cool with 5-7 days, but i can't have this drag on.

I like ANplumbing.com .. they have pretty great customer service, and are pretty cheap too. But if you're on a budget for "just breather lines", why not use push lock instead of braided? It's way cheaper, and works pretty great. If it's good enough for my heater core lines, it should be plenty for your breather.
