I got this for Christmas and have a question...
My loop uses all 1/2" I.D. tubing and the MCW50-T comes with 3/8" I.D. and I dont wanna go from one hose size to the other in the loop.
Can I just throw some 1/2" Stems to 1/2" Hose barbs in there to correct this? I ordered some adapters because I thought this would be an issue. I got the 1/2" Stem to 1/2" Hose because it was listed as an adapter for all 1/2" O.D. Products carried by Swiftech. Before I jam the things in the quick connect fittings that are on the MCW50-T, I wanted your input.

It should work fine, they reccomend it........
As long as you have a decent pump it'll be fine as well.

They recommend what? Going from 1/2" to 3/8" tubing in the loop, or using the adapters.

Using the adapters if you already have 1/2" Id tubing.

Use the adaptors. I have the MCW50 non T, and have the barb adaptors so my system uses 1/2" throughout. They work perfectly.

1/2 tube to 1/2 barb are fine in the MCW50/T, all of Swiftechs current quick connects use the same size. The older blocks used 3/8 but thats been phased out.....

Yeh, the moddin gods must be angry at us because OPP is ripping up the ORB so "Mod God" said enough is enough and enjoy your 55-60F winter boys.
It was 34F on Christmas day when I opened all my goodies...next day it was 59F...pffffffft.
