!!FOUND: Source of G3/8 BSP 1/2" ID metal thermochill barbs & shroud!!

[003]

I did order them. The shipping wasn't a problem, because I was ordering the PA120.3 shroud as well, so it would have been the same without them.

I will of course let you guys know the results of this, but I can say 100% conclusively that they are not the same barb based on the picture at GAM alone.

If you will notice, where the shaft is affixed to the hex nut, there is a very noticeable slope. On the ones from NCIX, it is just a straight 90 degree angle. Also the shaft is noticeably shorter.

EDIT:
Also, GAM is also selling G3/8" 3/8" ID metal thermochill. Pic:


Other than the 2 extra ribbings on the shaft, linear slant where the shaft is connected to the hex nut, longer threading, and lack of an o-ring the shaft looks exactly like the ones from NCIX.

And there is more. NCIX has stocked them since well before september. Gam just got a new shipment of thermochill parts on 11/29, and since there were 20 of these barbs in stock when I ordered (now 18), I would be willing to bet they just had gotten their stock replenished. Thermochill could have by this point very easily had their barb manufacturer make the barbs bigger.
