G3/8 Thermochill Question

[Synapses]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if:

Nickel Plated Intake Extension Screw for Eheim 1046/1048 Pumps
http://www.sharkacomputers.com/ininexscfore.html

would work in the G3/8" fitting thread of a Thermochill PA120.3 radiator?

I am having a hell of a time getting fittings for this radiator because everyone seems to be sold out of them.

This says its G1/4" so 1/4" will not fit into 3/8"

Don't Compression nozzles, although easier, hurt your flow?

I think you'd be best going with regular nozzles (also saves money)

I'm not sure if that adapter would work but I know you could get a G 3/8 to G 1/4 adapter. Go to mcmaster.com and search for 4860K657. The adapters are nickel plated brass, but they don't include an O-ring. For O-rings search 9557K467 they come in packs of 100 and are $8.42. The adapter costs $4.74 each. Hope this helps.

Sorry I'm still a little new to water cooling. If I pick up both the G 3/8 to G 1/4 adapter and the o-rings you suggested, this will still give me a water tight seal correct? I won't have to use any type of tape?

[Waterlogged]

The fitting carholmes listed the number for will work fine with the sealing washer it comes with. There's no need to spend money on unnecessary O-Rings. No Teflon Tape or pipe dope will be needed either.

There's some more info in this thread:http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=158570

Ordering barbs for the Thermochill rads directly from the UK is possible if you're located in the US, although the other options are probably less expensive.
