ok here are two examples...
The one already attached to the tube is a part (that brass part) I removed from an old water tap ( it had a seal in it already ). Then there is a 1/2" union, a 1/2" to 1/8" bushing and a 1/8" fitting for 4mm OD tubing
(that I use to connect the compressor to the tank and I also use it to connect spudguns to the tank)
So does tightening the two 1/2" adapters basically squish the rubber washer very tightly against the compressor outlet tube? Since the squished rubber washer is the only contact point on the tube, wouldn't it be very unstable and not aligned properly?
It works surprisingly well.... wait a second I've been using it on something else as well
ohh I found it

there it is used as a homemade push to connect fitting... back then I didn't have 1/2" to 1/8" bushings
even if it isn't aligned properly it's not a problem...
EDIT
ohh btw there are more compression fittings in that video... the barrel is held in place inside the T by two rubber washers... also the newest version of the semiauto uses one to keep the barrel in place
.one question, how much pressure can a normal fridge compressor produce?
