There's so many different types of fittings,  But the fittings used on a rad are dependent on what type and size of tubing your using.  If your using hardline then it will also depend on how your planning your runs.

"What fitting goes in the radiator?" - either a barb or compression fitting. There are specific compression fittings for soft tube and hardline.

"What is barb?" - barb is a fitting for soft tubing

"Where does it go?" - in the inlet and outlet of radiators, waterblocks, reservoirs, t-connectors, extensions, angled fittings and pumps.

"What joins the barb?" - soft tubing

 

I believe you need to watch many many many many watercooling videos to become aquainted with the many various PC watercooling terms and hardware. Please go on youtube and check out the many videos and tutorials from JayzTwoCents DazMode Ronsanut SingularityComputers and PcjunkieMods

You will need compression but hardline/rigid compressions. Do some window shopping for rigid/hardline compressions

And mate

What Joins a tube to tube?

When using hardline/rigid tubing you are supposed to plan, measure, cut and bend you tubing from an inlet fitting to an outlet fitting thus that us how the tube makes a single loop.

 

Watch the videos i recommended.

When you buy a radiator you normally get two sets of screws, one set for attaching the fans to the radiator and another for attaching the radiator to your case.

 

Watch the videos i recommended.

 

Or I have to shop for screws also

You don't have to shop for screws unless you plan some modification of the standard attachments.

 

Watch the videos i recommended.

 

 

Watch the videos i recommended before purchasing.
