Hmmph.
Not a lot of facts in that statement then, were there?
I suppose a simple apology is beneath you. Shame.

Facts:
Topic = Cuplex Evo
1st line of post = "Has Anyone used one of these?"
1st line of reply = "They're reported to be quite good, nearly as good as Innovatek blocks. Their only drawback is they're in 10mm (3/8") max, you'll have to mod them to put larger barbs if your system is in 12mm.
(Emphasis mine)

There was no switch, the blocks have had 1/8" fittings since the Cuplex (before the Evo).
The big smile was because I thought I might have finally got you to understand the point I was trying to make.
It's not my fault if you're too busy insulting me to notice (or check your facts).
I hope your threat was a hollow one and you do happen to read this but if not, I can't force you to.

My cleverness is immaterial, I may have shown my calmness (and that even surprised me, under the circumstances) and perhaps a little tact and diplomacy where necessary.
I learnt on the other forum not to be arrogant because those who do, often end up with egg on their face.
To quote somebody, somewhere - Stick to the facts and ask questions if you're not sure (although I may have made that last bit up myself).

Whomp - the only thing I have found that may be of use is a G1/8 male to G1/4 female BSPP increaser.
Here's a pic of a couple fitted to a reservoir

Trouble is, I don't know how much they will increase flow restriction and if you use a large pump it may even cause cavitation.
(Happy to hear input on this btw.)
Min ID is 5mm (chamfered inlet) for a depth of approx 6.5mm.
I do know of someone using them in a reservoir with a 10mm ID pushfit system on a White Water block who hasn't reported any problems yet but I don't remember what pump he was using off the top of my head.

[Edit] Actually, Whomp's question is one I recieve a lot.
If you look closely at the first pic I posted of the dual Evos, the more eagle-eyed of you may have spotted another potential solution, although it may not be as effective in a serial or single cpu configuration.
Essentially, they are 10mm barbs, sleeved with a short section of 3/8" hose, with 1/2" pipe clamped over it.

And btw, if I'm not welcome here, LMK and I'll bow out gracefully.
Don't wish to make waves.
I have full respect for many posters and all staff on this board.
