Im not interested in EK's barbs as im not sure if i can get them in Canada whitout having them to be shiped over-sea. So i'd go whit the DDs instead. So basicly the DDs will fit on the Strom whit the O-ring, right ? and also use them on the MCW60 whit the O-right to ? and i should be good to go ?Quote:

DD barbs will fit the storm and MCW with its O-ring and nothing elseQuote:

I think it would a good idea for EK or DD or Petra to make some 1\4 NPSM barbs to work with swifty blocks, with a few more threads than the current barbs have to make some people feel a bit more at ease.
I have DD barbs, and it seems like the nickel plating may be flaking off into the water. Is this typical of these types of barbs? I ran my setup for about a day, and the whole line is full of what I can best describe as silverish-metallic dust. Now I get to take the entire watercooling rig apart and start over in order to get things cleans again. Not too happy about that.
guys i am planning on getting an Aquagrati X1800/1900 block... i just need to know if i can use 1/2 ID barbs on this baby or am i going to be stuck with 3/8 ID barbs??

scream: i believe it uses G1/4 threads which means you could put DD or EK 1/2" barbs on it. not sure tho.

Great thread, now if we can only get information on compression and quick connect fittings.
My Danger Den TDX has G1/4" threads. You could make the list in 1st post shorter. All Watercool and Alphacool blocks use G1/4" threads, expcept Alphacool MCX (no thread, direct fitting for 3mm ID tubing) and Watercool Micro (M5). EK and HWLabs (Black ICE radiators) use also G1/4" only. Aqua Computer components use normally G1/8", but there are some exceptions: The flow meter, the radiators and the new Aqautube G1/4" use G1/4".
Cheers guys,
can you tell me which threads has the Koolance CHC-120-V10 and the CPU-330 ?
Will 12x1/2" or 12x3/8" fitting fit on any radiators or pump?
nice to see Exa is still updating this. now if Grim would hurry up with the Conroe OC DB ;)
Thanks for the thread
I didn't see this chart in this, but I think it is pretty helpful (at least it was for me).
Quote:
Pipe size is the accepted industry designation, not the actual measured size. To determine pipe size, first use a ruler to measure the outside diameter (OD) for male ends or inside diameter (ID) for female ends. Then, round up the measurement to the closest OD or ID listed in the chart and select the corresponding pipe size. For example, if the OD or ID measures 1 3/16", the next highest OD or ID in the chart is 1 3/8", and the corresponding pipe size is 1".
Use OD for a male threaded end.
Use ID for a female threaded end.
Code:Threaded OD or ID 3/8" 1/2" 5/8" 3/4" 1" 1 3/8" 1 5/8" 1 7/8" 2 3/8" 2 7/8" 3 1/2" 4 1/2"
Pipe Size 1/8" 1/4" 3/8" 1/2" 3/4" 1" 1 1/4" 1 1/2" 2" 2 1/2" 3" 4"
I thought I would through this in here just to show once more there are 1000s of source to get fitting . Not just expensive online PC shops that many times supply the wrong parts because they don't know the product their selling.
