    7/16" Masterkleer and DD Perfect Seal barbs

    I'm having a hell of a time getting my Masterkleer tubing onto my Tyee GPU waterblock... Is it even possible to get 7/16" tubing on those fat barbs? I think the barb diameter is the same diameter as my tubing's OD

    I've tried the hot water trick before, just didn't seem to help much. Maybe I didn't soak it long enough? Only put it in there for about 5 seconds...

    (btw is it ok to use regular tap water to soak my tubing? contamination should be insignificant right?)

    Yes, its alright and won't harm anything. I ran my loop with regular tap water for about two months, by the way, and not a stain on any of my blocks...

    When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're smiling and everyone around you is crying.

    You need to use water that's at a full boil and leave the tubing in for about 15 seconds or so.
    I'm confident it can be done...I've got 3/8" Tygon stretched over my 1/2" barbs.
