Good point. I tend to use stainless hardware where I can, but will
mostly likely stick with zip with the built in male barbs. Should be
fine for 3/8th hose.

If you chose to go with something "mainstream" and make a hole (which i
don't see as a huge deal), i recogmend against hose clamps. I was
recently
replacing my pipes, and it had both the stock zipties, and hose
clamps. The
problem I see with hose clamps is the situation i got into....
The previous owner did go ahead and buy nice stainless steel hose
clamps....but the screw section was regular steel. So, now they
wouldnt move
at all due to rust and i had to cut them. Cutting through hose clamps
with a
set of flush cutters, is not all that pleasant. Zipties don't
rust.......at
least no plastic Ziptie i've ever seen.


Go get some big zipties, and go to town.
