I was hoping the thread would return to the Evo, rather than focus on the swivel elbows.
I am still happy to discuss how we could get the best out of the block though (in the spirit of these forums).

I'm not _that_ concerned about redesigning the block (Aqua Computer have already done so with their Rev 1.1) but I do see a question raised frequently as to fitting 1/2" barbs to it.
I was genuinely interested in your opinion of this alternative mod (although I was of the opinion that it was kind of unnecessary).

The angled connectors I have are already chamfered where the tube narrows and the internal design of this block is so far removed from that of the 462-b, that I don't see that your particular mod is as relevant - but then I am always open to entertaining the alternate viewpoint.

You refer in the article to "those chromed push-in 90s" but I can't find a pic of them to compare.
Mine are Nickel-plated, not chromed. Maybe they aren't the same type. :shrug:
(I have already seen differences between connectors I have used from Festo, CompAir Maxam (as was), Legris (3000 series, 3600 series, etc), John Guest and others, so I wouldn't be surprised).
