It shipped with barbs for 3/8" and 1/2" ID tubing. I still have them...

And I bought another Rev1 Storm, used, about a year ago and it too came with both sizes...

I am still waiting for Stew to send me word on the availability of the sterling silver G-5...it's only been several years...I'll give him another year and then I'm giving up.


It's not the hose ID of the barbs what puzzles me. It's the thread type. Swifty has been using NPSM for ages. Only in their new range of products (Apogee GTX / Stealth) they've moved to BSPP.

If you own a Storm Rev1 with BSPP female threads, you have on your hands a collector's item ^^

Anyway, I had enough frustration and anal retention for a day. I rest my case.
