I've brought a few bits of my swiftech apex ultra kit to the UK with me. Pump, Chipset block and an Apogee GT. I left the raditator and tubing in Thailand.

I want to build a new system with a PA 120.3 in the loop, but I'm not sure what size barbs and tubing I should be getting to fit with the rest of the bits.

Would I be looking for 7/16" tubing and 1/2" barbs? Could I use 1/2" tubing?

Apologies if I should be searching for this stuff. I'm having to use internet cafe's at the moment, so don't have the luxury of time.

Cheers ahead for any advice:)

for tube i like 7/16 more than 1/2 becouse more soft easy for management
in case Incould for NB & SB but for 7/16 very tight when you push in barb
or remove . If you use Metal barb it will easier than plastic barb when you push or remove .

1/2 barbs can use 7/16 tubing or 1/2 tubing, your choice...

I prefer 7/16"id x 5/8"od tubing over 1/2" barbs. Just put the tubing end in water that you brought to a boil for approx. 12 seconds and it will slip on easy and will seal tight. But be ready to have to cut it off to remove.

Got to say I found the tubing on the swiftech kit an absolute bassa to remove. that's why I was considering 1/2" tubing.

Just one new tip I've learnt. Don't pack AC MX-1 thermal paste if you plan to fly. Had bangkok customs searching through my case looking for hyperdermic needles. Just glad the rubber gloves never came out.

for 1/2" Tygon 2075 tubing are those the best barbs for the PA 120.3 ??

I thought people liked those chrome barbs I read about in some other thread weeks ago..
