They do, but on the flipside, we have customers who purchase items that come with 1/2" barbs in the box sealed from the manufacturer. We have customers who will email in and ask for those barbs to be removed as they already have some that'll fit it and expect a price saving thru having them removed... with profit margins being so low in this game at the moment, we end up selling blocks for cost and sitting on a pile of fittings that don't sell particularly quickly...

Can't please everyone... wish we could. If we stick our fittings in with the rads, retail price in US will go up by $9USD per radiator. No easy solution. Well.... there is. There are machine shops in US that'll happily make the required fittings... Cooltechnica found em. D-Tek also altho Danny's dragging his heels getting them to market (we first enq'd about having some made up back in January). Think Alex @ Petras is investigating this at the mo with intention of producing his own...
