I know this sounds a silly question but I have just bought some Barrow fittings which are identical to Bitspower fittings (But a third of the price). The only thing I want to swap out is the O-rings as they come in this off green colour o-rings. The fittings themselves are flawless and nearly identical to the Bitspower ones.

 

I need to get some 16mm O-rings but I don't know how thick they need to be. Can anyone help with this?

If you are talking about the G1/4 threaded section just look up for black G1/4 o rings there are a lot of suppliers that will have what you need.

No, I am looking at the 16mm ID ones which will go around the tube to seal it properly. I wanted to know how thick they needed to be, so I bought a 1.5mm, 2mm and 3mm ones to see which fits best and the 1mm ones I have dont seem to fit snug-ly enough...

Ok if you have the fittings it's a matter of taking a pair or calipers and taking of ID which should be just smaller than 16mm and the OD of the o ring. You can make sure the thickness by taking the diameter of the rubber ring itself.
