Bill, thanks, but I would imagine you have much better things to do than to read my posts and respond.

Obviously, my request does not lend itself to easy or straightforward responses and I suspected as much. Clearly, that's why I see very little recommendations in these forums. Enthusiasts visiting here should understand this is not the place for a lot of "retail" recommendations. This is more a place for the DIY, custom-built, CAD-engineered, flowchart designed solutions by those who are looking for the nth C. Definitely not for the faint-hearted.

But I continue to learn and understand a wealth of information with each visit. Clearly, I will never advance to the level most of you have achieved nor am I interested in doing so. The "science" of WCing, to include flow rates, thermal dynamics, CW, TW, thermal impedance, etc., does not fascinate nor interest me. I'm more interested in reading how different combinations of optimized components behave. However, I'm fortunate many of you are interested in the whys and hows and are kind enough to share your knowledge and findings. I enjoy the whats.

My request was not meant to solicit lectures of "figure it out yourself because someone else's already told you what you need to know". I clearly understood that point from the articles I've read over the months. I'm clearly "outmatched" here and find myself quite apprenhensive to ask for advice or assistance (at least publically) for fear of being ridiculed or lectured. I have read too many threads/posts where that happens quite often. No need for me to add to that. Certainly, this is one place I would NEVER give advice either.

For instance, I need assistance trying to locate fittings to convert my 3/8" GeminiCool Spiral to 1/2" outlet but could not bring myself to ask for that assistance here. I'm afraid of the "why on earth do you want to do that" responses.
