3/4" (inside diameter) Black Flexible vinyl Tubing work with regular PVC fittings?

I would like to use this tubing, but need it to work with some common pvc fittings, is there an adapter to do this, or is the tubing O.D. the same as pvc?

Basically I need it to go into a 3/4" pvc slip.

I think this is what I need......still would like to know though if the tubing has the same O.D. from someone with experience.

Yes, that is what you need. The OD of the tube will be different than PVC but its the ID that matters. By using the barbed adapter you can adapt one to the other. Heat the heck out of the tubing in hot water and slip it over the barbs then use a hose clamp to hold it in place. Glue the other end of the adapter in to the slip or socket end of the PVC and you are in business.
