DSD International Tubing and Fittings

Has anyone tried out their products? Their saddles look simple and I'm interested in their thin wall spout claims.

I have not installed any of their products, but I did have a chance to put these fittings together on tubing at a maple supplier. I was pretty impressed with the quality and even the younger guys
could not pull the tubing off after installation. We put some fittings on 8 year old 30P and it did not slip a bit. I still do not like the SS band type saddles. The gasket is a surface mount and nothing protrudes into the mainline for a seal. I told the supplier I would try these fittings in a section of my woods if he decides to stock them.

They looki like a good product, I think the saddles would work pretty well, and I like that you can change spouts without cutting the line. My only worry would be usinf the smaller spout and not getting the amount of sap that you get with 5/16 spouts.
