AFAIK, those are not Legris fittings, but are John Guest "Speedfit" fittings . My only issue with the speedfit-to-barb adapters is that they have a smaller ID than I like. I have used short sections of copper tubing as speedfit-to-barb adapters (even got the local radiator shop to "bead" a couple for me to get a really good fit where the flexible tubing goes over the copper tubing). I also got a couple made with "radiused" bends (and beaded) as I was putting a swiftech block in what was approximately a 2U case and had concerns with how restrictive the JohnGuest 90 degree adapters appeared to be (looked like milled elbows). Note that I use Eheim 1046 pumps a lot and so am always looking for ways to "finesse" water flow rather than relying on "brute force". Wish I'd taken some pictures before I'd handed that one off to a customer.
Finally, I really like the way the JG Speedfits allow tubing to rotate. Removing rotational torque from your hoses means one less force trying to pry the waterblock off the CPU - IMHO a good thing.
