This is unacceptable for me, I'm afraid. Why use 1/2''ID tubing and components if I am going to restrict the whole circuit to 3/8'' ?

I will be looking for an alternative but I am not very optimistic....

The Brass Barb fittings i have that are made for 1/2" ID tubing have an internal diameter of 3/8" (the fittings have a wall thickness of 1/16"). So if your using fittings that have an OD of 1/2" to mesh with the 1/2" ID tubing, your flow is also goign to be constricted, maybe even to 3/8" if you have the brass kind like mine. Just thought i would point that out.
