I'm not really sure about this though
Here's the original version :
"I have yet heard is to sleeve the 10mm barb fittings (or use a reducer) and connect a balance pipe (by means of T-pieces or Y-connectors) to counteract any flow restriction induced by this"

Wow! I wrote that... but it's been taken out of context a little.
To lay down the background, I run
Wizard Designs - I sell Aqua Computer gear to the US & UK.
One of the questions I get asked the most is how to use the Aquatube reservoir (which only has 1/8 BSPP threads) with a 1/2" system.
This was part of an answer to someone via email to
this problem.
The original inquirer sent me
this interpretation.
but what I was trying to convey was
a little more like this
(although I have since found
slightly better thread converters to address the issue).
I wouldn't suggest the use of a pipe to bypass the
block!
(
unless, of course, it's to supply a second one... )
