Tube and fitting sizes

Go to solution Solved by PuNkPoEtS,

Those first fittings u posted won't work as it is a completely different size ad the ID of the tubing is the size of the OD of the fitting. The second fittings u posted will be just fine as they are the right size

Hi guys,

 

Just needed some help on tubing and fittings sizes for my water cooling.

 

I currently have water cooling set-up with just the CPU and i used a water cooling Kit as it was easy at that time. But now i'm adding a GPU block too, so i need to extend the loop.

 

My current tubing from the Kit has gone kinda old so i will be replacing that too.

 

So i done some research watching videos on YouTube and i think i have found the right tube and fitting size, but i need to make sure that it's right before i buy it.

 

My current Kit is: http://www.xs-pc.com/watercooling-kits/raystorm-750-rs240-watercooling-kit

- It has G1/4″ to 1/2″ Barbs(Which i will still reuse, saving money :P )

 

The tube and fittings i'm planing to buy, based on that i have 1/2" barbs:

- Tubing(1/2IN. ID X 3/4IN. OD ): http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=17562

- Fitting(3/8" X 1/2" - G1/4 BLACK ): http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=20688 OR (1/2" X 3/4" - G1/4 BLACK)http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=19785

 

So if anyone can help me please, thanks  :)
