The manufacturer does! You guys are just getting screwed over by a local distributor. DD can bring in TC barbs any time they feel like it.

I've fixed what I believe is the last reference to any 3/8 thread type in the MCR320 product description. Most of them already said G1/4 compatible.

Thanks linus. Would be easier if there was some sort of concensus at the manufacturer level though.

Linus, the tap used to make the threads in the MCR "hubs" is a NPSM 1/4". It's merely a coincidence that G1/4" happen to fit. It would be nice, if your site (and all the others), reflected the truth.

Already pointed some post before. Although it's a long post and it's good to be remenbered because it's going to solve us some headakes, at least for me with 3 TC rads.

For those in the US who need some kind of fitting... http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT...MT4NO=34916377
It's a 3/8-19(BSPT) to 3/8-18(NPT) nipple. Go to your local brothel, get a 3/8 NPT female to 1/2" hose barb (or whatever size you need) and life is good...

There are more suppliers of fittings than McMaster-Carr in the US, just look around a bit

Edit: Here is the 1/4-19 to 1/4-20 version http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT?PMAKA=60041589

There is a link to the catalog page on there that will show you all kinds of interesting metric to American adapters and they are quite a bit cheaper than most other places I've seen...enjoy

Why pull hair to get a adapter to NPT then NPT nipple if it's simpler to order a 3/8" BSPP to 1/4" BSPP adapter then use any G1/4" barbs which is the standard ? McMaster sell them under 4860K657

**Isepick** · 12-24-2007, 05:50 AM

There are many ways to get from fitting size A to hose size B....I was simply offering an alternative, since this thread seemed to be discussing different adapters and where to get them and such. Additional options are always a good thing IMHO

Has anyone tried just tapping the ports on a TC rad? To either 3/8-18 or even 7/16?

Just a quick update. I received the package from GAMMODS that had the barbs and PA120.3 shroud today. The barbs are in fact larger than the ones I have from NCIX. They are every bit as large as the D-tek 1/2" hi-flow barbs that I have, and they fit 1/2" ID tubing perfectly. For anybody interested, here is the link again:

Thanks for posting that.
I've been trying to get that over in this thread but no-one wanted to hear it. They all thought they knew from NCIX.
