Thanks, Ray. With shipping, it's about $10 for 5... still beats the prices elsewhere. And I'll need 5 anyway!

Last question, I swear, before I place this order... how important is it that the OD of the barbed fittings and the ID of the LLDPE tubing match up? I'm finding it difficult to find fittings whose specifications match those of the tubing, even from the same site. The actual size of 1/4" tubing seems like it can vary by quite a bit. We're talking about tenths of an inch here, but I just don't know how much of a difference it makes.
