I have to return the brass fittings anyway. For some reason they don't fit. I have the SS fittings on order. If thee don't fit, I'll have to return the catch can and find one with 3/4" fittings. My factory vent tube crumbled apart when I tried to reinstall it and I couldn't get the one I bought off Amazon (
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to fit. Three of the 4 clips also broke off and I used a piece of PCV hose to connect the two fittings.
This project is on hold anyway as we're dealing with a substantial roof leak after our last deluge. Turns out 25 years ago when they built the house, nailing down the roof tiles was (apparently) optional and a whole row slipped. We're out of our master and the family room below. Thankfully no mold!
