Watercooling barbs

craigcharlie

I'm looking for some replacement barbs for a chipset block, 3/8 " BSP to 1/2 " barbs. Anyone got anyone they want to part with for a few quid?

Or, if anyone is ordering anything from an overclocking web site in the next few days, can you let me know? odds are they might stock it.

IS it american or european. How big is the fitting. You might need 1/2 inch on one side but is it 3/8 on the other.

the fittings on it are for 10mm tubing, dont know what size the threads are though. I'l keep looking for connectors, tbh i found some lastnight, but i dont know wether they will fit the block, i think they are 1/4" threads, not sure though,

Its silence i'm after, I got the 144 stable at 2.9 so I dont need any more from it. When i get my new ram 1:1 @ 320fsb should be sweet. All i can hear from my case is the HD's. grr to maxtor

My hydor L30 started leaking and they are the only retailler i can find with the D5 pump in stock.

cheers for all the replies, I forgot to check back on this thread yest. Well, I've found a place called Smallman's in Ranelagh that does plumbing supplies, and it sounds like they have what I need. And they're open on Saturday! After I go I'll post back here and give the story on what kind of stuff they have.

What i need is actually 3/8" BSP threads on one end, 1/2 inch barb on the other. The barb is actully gonna be used for 12mm tubing, but it's a snug fit, as the barbs on my rad are actually the same dimensions and I'm using them with 12mm tubing.

combatcow, we have the same initials, we're always tryin to buy the same hardware, it's spooky if you ask me

yeah, well fyi, the guy in smallman's said that he has two pieces that can be screwed together to make that, a 3/8 thread and then a 1/2 barb that screws into the thread, just use ptfe tape and it'll be fine.

Also, they're only open from 9.30 to 1 I think... come to think of it, I'll pm ya Smallman's details with this message to make sure you get it.

Man that site does have a lot. Have you had good experience with it Wizz? I e-mailed the site about Zerex, they never e-mailed me back, it's been over a week....
