Brass barbs on MCR320

[tommithy]

Is it ok to use brass barbs in a watercooling loop? I picked up a couple of 1/2" x 3/8NPT brass barbs at the local plumbing store as I don't want to use the nylon ones. They were cheap so it's no big deal if I can't use them but I'd like to. Will this cause any issues?

Yeah you can use them, they wont cause corrosion or anything. Just make sure they fit correctly and use some plumbers tape and you'll be good to go.

They will be fine mate

Thanks!

I know they'll fit as they are the same thread, pitch, angle, etc. I just don't like the thought of nylon barbs. They may be strong enough but they don't give me peace of mind.
