Fixiiit, your correct. I had already purchased the 1/2" silicon tubing and the radiator already had been built using 1/2" barbs. The new barbs are the same inside but will fit 1/2" hose. There very well may be backpressure, but with the pumps being used for water-cooling you’re going to get backpressure. The High Volume Block is designed for 360 GPH or more. Most high output pumps including Eheim's come with larger inlet/outlet fittings than the 3/8" fittings found on Gemini WB. Whether you reduce the pipe size at the pump or at the WB it's still the same. Once the pump arrives I will run a test and find out what the water flow is going through the HVWB.
