[PSUBS-MAILIST] cable fittings

[Rick Patton via Personal_Submersibles]

That was probably what Brian had mentioned, using the Uni Dicht series and
I have a call out to them for that specific series. They did tell me that
by going up to the higher rating (30 bar) that it was only made with metric
threads and I have already welded in my threw hull fitting for a 3/8" NPT
but they are checking on that. What do you think about using two fittings
to get twice the amount of holding power?
