Where: 1/4" BSPT barbs and 1/2" ID tubing

    I know this isn't really a gardening problem, but it is DIY and I figure a lot of folks with garden fountains would know what I'm talking about.

    I'm looking to replace the tubing in my watercooling system, from 5/16" ID to 1/2" ID, as things are getting quite hot these days and I've just upgraded the hardware...

    At the moment I'm using 5/16" compression fittings and want to replace them with 1/2" barbs. The threads on all connections are 1/4" BSPT.

    Anyone know a place where I could get 1/4" threaded BSPT barbs with 1/2" hose ends, and some flexible 1/2" ID tubing. Was hoping I'd find tygon, but any flexible tubing would do, the one I have at the moment is very prone to kinks.

    I found the stuff on www.flomax.ie but they only sell the tubing in 30 meter coils. I only need 2 meters at the most !

    On the other hand, I found all this stuff on a webshop in the UK, where replacing the tubing in my system would cost me 80 euro, and that's without shipping ! Talk about inflated prices, just because it's an overclocking store... After all, we're talking about standard plumbing gear here, there must be stores that carry this stuff in Ireland.

    Or Chadwicks Builders Suppliers, or Smallman, or Hevac

    All plumbing materials suppliers.

    Best bet to go in on a slow day with what you want as they're all trade dealers primarily.

    Actually B&Q in Liffey Valley would also be a good bet as ou could examine what they have to offer
