Slightly confused with fitting sizes..

[Nitroblast]

Hello all,

 

I am looking at a custom loop, and have chosen 3/8 ID/ 5/7 OD tubing, and all of the things use G 1/4, but on watercoolinguk.co.uk, they use fittings in MM, what MM size would be best?

 

Thanks, -Arctic.

No... they don't. (I just checked) I think you might be referring to the thickness of the radiator, not the size of the fittings. And they don't make 5/7 OD Tubing....

http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/cat/Hose-Fittings_39.html If you look at the side, the compression fittings are in MM, e.g. 10/8mm.

I was taken to a completely different website when I typed in watercooler.co.uk... lol. But some of them have the inches on them.

13/10mm = 3/8 ID 1/2 OD (at least I think)

Do you think the measurement in MM on that would be the same as on the others, so I could use it as a reference?

I think so.

I think so. 

Alright, thanks mate.

Alright, thanks mate. 

No problem.

I would just to make sure sizes are accurate in metric cause if it's similar to the building industry taht uses a mix, metric measurements are nominal and not accurate to actual sizes at times, but a close estimate since 3/8" is 9.525mm and 5/8 is 15.875mm. Just be careful at what sizes they provide.
