Where to buy barbs for MCR320

[bitbum]

I have the old style MCR320 Swiftech radiator that came with plastic 3/8" NPT to 1/2" barb fittings.

I want to use metal fittings, where can I find ones that will fit?

Tenchincally you can use any G1/4 or BBSP 1/4 barbs due to the threading of the swiftech rads.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I don't see how a 3/8 NPT port can accomodate a G1/4 fitting.

Those fittings he linked work in my MCRs

You can also use G3/8 to G1/4 adaptors from mcmaster (Part number 4860K657). Additionally EK of Ekwaterblocks has begun to produce G3/8 fittings now.

yea Edward makes some high quality stuff. If only it did not take them 3 revisions to get rid of the vortex effect in the reservoir lol. i do have to admit though....once the system is bled the whirlpool looks badass

Petras now has the G3/8 barbs in stock, I just order a few. These will work with my MCR-320 or Thermochill, if I decide to upgrade.
