i used
this and a 1/4-18 NPT - uses a 7/16" drill bit
these make 3/4" and 1/2" holes, respectively
1/4-18 is the correct thread count for the plastic barbs that commonly available at ace hardware and other stores (most oline retailers also)
you should note that some retailers have switched to NPSM threads
having used a acrylic, I wouldn't use it again
See my 1st res
here and my new all copper res
here the main problem I had with the acrylic res was that it cracked and cracked and finally failed while the pc was in transit across town
anyway, good luck
