Where does everyone shop for their fittings? Those puppies are expensive. FYI, I'm looking for 3/4".

Don't forget,they make a special teflon type tape for use with Stainless fittings. I learned this the hard way, when I couldn't get two fittings apart due to galling.

Fastenal has the stuff. It's a little pricey, but it keeps the SS fittings removable.

Can I use galvanized strut channel and the vibration reducing tubing clamps or should that also be stainless?

There is also fiberglass strut available, but don't use it for anything longer than 1-2 feet as it can bow on you. Also in addition to special teflon tape, you could use never sieze as an alternative to reduce galling.
