Don't understand putting stainless connectors to poly tube. bit like mounting diamond on zinc for a ring.

Do you mean barbed connections? If so then there’s very little in SS above 1/2” available in Australia. Dixons make SS barbed elbows and Tee splicers but only up to 1/2” in 304SS and 3/4” in brass.
You can cobble together barbed elbows and tees by using normal female threaded pipe elbows/tees and screwing in male threaded hose barbs; but obviously this is going to start getting costly.
What are you trying to build? There might be another way...

bugga too much red wine and tiredness dont mix.
lets try again.
we all know what poly irrigation connectors look like. now imagine a stainless piece without Barbs that would push into stainless tube/pipe and be held together with grub screws. similar to what I have since found474992
that is what I am after, now to wait until after weekend and contact Oceania Industrial Components Brisbane, I am already shaking at what the price could be....:rolleyes:

Do you mean like this?
These are 20 mm from Blackwoods
https://www.blackwoods.com.au/hoses-hose-fittings/couplings-safety/zinc-plated-steel-and-stainless-steel-hose-menders/mender-hose-mcc-stainless-steel-20mm/p/03302003
$10 each - you have to register to be able to see prices.
25mm are $15
474993
the size reflect the nominal size of the hose used. I would not trust a 20mm to be 20mm - I'd be measuring both the fitting and the pipe really carefully with verniers first.
Some metal turning is likely to be needed for a snug fit to the

would love something but the $$$ comes into play, appears we can get sheet folded and riveted at a very good price, not exactly what I was after, but playing with others $$ :p
