Default Re: Will this fit?

Get barbs here - select 3/8" or 1/2" from drop down box... http://www.thermochill.com/acatalog/...cessories.html (scroll down page, you'll spot em) - tubing also on same page, all sizes and types (inc 7/16)

Get rad here - http://www.thermochill.com/acatalog/pa_series.html

3/8" ID Tygon and 7/16" Masterkleer share the same 5/8" OD, so neither is better than the other for routing / air restriction. I *had* a photo comparing all popular sizes side by side, but can't find it now. The 7/16 is however much cheaper than the Tygon...

Personal recommendation - PA160, 3/8" BSPT thread to 1/2" Barbs (x2), 7/16" Masterkleer hose.

Marci seems to recommend it on forums because its ok with UV unlike tygon
S'not why i recommend it tho, tis just an added bonus... if wanting to use UV dyes, always best to avoid Tygon and other tubing with UV Filters... or it dulls the effect... which usually results in the end-user dumping MORE dye in to achieve the effect. 3 months later they're in complaining about their stained tubing etc.
