    BitsPower Compression Barbs installation

    Hey all,

    i am wanting to get these barbs.. and would like to know if it could be used on the fuzion.. and also on the microRes and the mcr220? is it possible? or do i have to go get a ek supreme instead?

    These are the barbs here:
    http://www.gammods.com.au/store/inde...roducts_id=514

    are they the right ones in disrupts rig?

    I got mine direct from the Hong Kong office. Here but you need to use the google translator. Or you could PM BP-Vincent, they are super friendly and willing to ship anywhere.

    ohh thanks for that..

    but i could just get it from GAM as im in AUS also so yeah..

    just need some confirmation that those barbs/fittings i linked in OP is the ones EXACTLY like disrupts ( cause i love his build, lol ) and will fit with everything else etc. Now i just know it won't fit the d-tek

    anyways, if i get the acrylic top, does it alter the performance in any way? as in temps, installation of barbs, scratches easily?

    thanks

    EDIT: BTW disrupt, in your post above you said " mcr220 yes w/ st transfer base" for that what do i need to purchase?

    also, these will compression barbs will def be safe to use, with no leaks etc? and how does it tighten the tubes? i dont get it.. but it looks sexy, thats all i want!

    works with ek supreme...

    Swiftech rads come with a slight recess a st transfer improves the seal think of it as a adapter of sorts

    Compression barbs do what they say screw it down to compress the tubing same thing as a worm clamp,cable tie

    Doesn't look like it; I think Bitspower fittings need about an inch from hole to hole, or something like that. I don't have those fittings OR that block though, just what I can see from pics.

    no the compression for 1/2 was ment to fit 3/4.

    Also the 3/8 was is too small for the 7/16ID Tubing.

    Basically my understanding is if you go bitspower you to expensive route.


    I can Vouch and claim cuz im on it right now, the koolance 13mm Compression nozzles WILL FIT Masterkleer.

    Compression Fitting Barb, G1/4" to 1/2" ID 5/8" OD, Brass, Nickel-plated

    won't fit my desired masterkleer 7/16" tubing? i thought i could put 7/16" tubing on 1/2" barbs for a nice tight fit?

    compresion r different than regular barbs. the tubing has to be a perfect match AKA 1/2ID 5/8OD tubes for those fittings.
