I just recieved my NCIX barbs. I was kinda upset I had to order them from Canada and they would not even take my credit card and I had to have a friend order...
Oh yea I found this Au link online before I ordered but I may as well order them from the moon. Thats about as far away as I could have possibly orded them from lol.
I did not measure with a caliper (don't have one) but my plastic NPT barbs are 6/16ths of an inch ID at the barb end, and the NCIX ones are 5/16ths of an inch (roughly no calipers).
How much will 1/16th of an inch really affect performance? I'm using 7/16th inch Masterclear tubing and hose clamps so I should be able to get a decent enough seal over them. more worried about restriction in the loop.
I already blew $25 on these barbs and I don't really want to spend anymore money. I mean paying $50 or more for more barbs is a bit ridiculous I could have just purchased a second swiftech radiator and crammed it in there. I like the design of the thermochill but when you start getting nickled and dimed on barbs I can't really recomend them as a practical radiator...
